The Lighthouse Track is a steep, narrow tramping track that leads to the old Pencarrow Lighthouse.
To get to the starting point you'll first need to travel 7km along the coastline from Burdan's Gate, Eastbourne. Once you've reached the signpost for the trail, climb uphill and explore this historic site.
At the top are information panels about the history of the lighthouse and a spot to rest and take photos of the sweeping ocean views.
For easier access to the Lighthouse Track, continue around Pencarrow Head to the Lake Kohangapiripiri outlet and follow the signposts.
