Cap Fréhel

The majestic headlands of Cap Fréhel.

The Cap Fréhel is a lighthouse and fortified castle right out of a story book.The wild and windswept area around the Cap Fréhel peninsula has got plenty to offer. It's a paradise for birds. The bird sanctuary is located next to the Cap Fréhel and hosts a diversity of birds.

Bracing walks, soaring cliffs, attractive beaches, stunning views over the Emerald Coast and the Channel Islands, a seabird reserve...

At the head of the Cap are two lighthouses. The taller one, 98ft (30m) high, with a calorie-burning 145 steps, was built in 1950 and its beam can reach up to 68 miles (110km). The smaller one, no longer in use, was constructed in 1685.
