Great place to visit whilst in Ilfracombe and in the harbour – great views on a sunny day – even if the chapel is closed you can still go up and admire the views – pictures of the views taken –

A great place to visit when you are at the harbour in Ilfracombe. It's a steep climb up but you are rewarded with stunning views from the old sailors chapel. The volunteer was also excellent and talked us through the fascinating history of the chapel. Free to visit.

Lovely little view point ! Nice to see the historic side of Ilfracombe. Nice little walk up to it slightly steep but short so is doable without too much effort.

What a lovely treat to go up Lantern Hill and peak inside. The building dates back to 1321. It has had many uses over the years! It was a place of worship and also a lighthouse keeper home. With a family of two adults and 14 children. Definitely worth a viewing when in Ilfracombe.
