Egypt Point Lighthouse

Highlight • Viewpoint

First established by the Corporation of Trinity House in 1897, the light emitted from Egypt Point provided a guide to those navigating in the Solent for almost a century until 1989 when the changing requirements of the marina led to the light being discontinued.
The name "Egypt" is thought to derive from a colony of gypsies (then called Egyptians) who lived in the area in the sixteenth century.
