Hello, and welcome to Lighthouse Explorers!
This began as a small passion project. Just me (Annie) and a deep love for lighthouses. However, over the last few years I’ve been overjoyed to see the project slowly grow into a community of curious, kind, and wonderfully lighthouse-obsessed people.
Lighthouse Explorers is all about uncovering the history, legends, and lesser-known stories behind these incredible coastal landmarks, including the people who built, tended, and lived alongside them. From podcasts and social media posts to blog articles and in-person lighthouse trips, everything we do is rooted in sharing maritime heritage in ways that feel accessible, engaging, and (hopefully) a little bit magical.
We have a podcast over on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, where we explore lighthouses’ history, legends, and more. This is a good place to hide out if you want small nuggets of lighthouse goodness.

Unfortunately, storms then hit the north east of England.… Continue reading The final chance to join the 2025 group trips
Talking to Ed Peppitt about his 3,500 mile cycle ride
This week, I had the great fortune to talk to Ed Peppitt about his travels around England and Wales. These included cycling 3,500 miles, spotting over 300 lighthouses, and raising over ÂŁ15,000 for Shift MS. Ed’s book, ‘The Beacon Bike’, is absolutely brilliant. In it, he shares the highs and lows of this huge undertaking.… Continue reading Talking to Ed Peppitt about his 3,500 mile cycle ride
If you prefer videos, we also go to lighthouses in person! Check out the YouTube playlist linked below to get involved.
And finally… if you have a favourite lighthouse, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We love a lighthouse (surprise), and will feature it so that the rest of the Lighthouse Explorers community can enjoy it.
