Gibb’s Hill Lighthouse
On the southern point of the islands and obvious from miles
around is the Gibb's Hill Lighthouse. It is well worth walking up
the tower's 185 steps to the top from where one can enjoy a
panoramic view of the islands. The cast-iron building was
prefabricated in England and assembled here in 1844 to warn ships
off Bermuda's dangerous coast. It is still in use today.
