South Foreland Lighthouse is a Victorian lighthouse on the South . It went out of service in 1988 and is currently owned by the National Trust.

South Foreland Lighthouse is a Victorian lighthouse on the South Foreland in St. Margaret's Bay, Dover, Kent, England, used to warn ships approaching the nearby Goodwin Sands. Another lighthouse had previously stood on the site since at least 1730 and during most of this time it was manned by the Knott family of lighthouse keepers. South Foreland was the first lighthouse to use an electric light. Strategically situated on the white cliffs of Dover, this historic lighthouse (first ever to be powered by electricity) & owned by the National Trust, proved to be very interesting indeed.

We had to wait an age for it to be served but it was really nice. Built in 1843, it went out of service in 1988 and is currently owned by the National Trust. It is notable as having been the first lighthouse to use an electric light, and was the site chosen by Guglielmo Marconi for his pioneering experiments in wireless radio transmissions.

The . mile section will complete a five-mile stretch of coastline owned by the trust, between Dover port and South Foreland lighthouse.
