Souter Lighthouse and Marsden

Our class went on an educational visit to Souter Lighthouse.

We arrived early, so we went for a walk along the cliff and had time to play on the play equipment until the lighthouse opened at 11am. When we went inside the lighthouse the guide took us up to top. There were lots of stairs that curved around the side of the lighthouse. The last set of steps leading up to the light were very steep, like a set of ladders. We looked out of the windows. It was a bit foggy so we couldn't see very far. After that we went downstairs to the engine room where we saw the compressors and othe equipment that is used to make the light and foghorn work. We then went to see the lighthouse keepers cottage from 100 years ago. There was a kitchen, a childrens bedroom and an adults bedroom. It was very interesting. It was then lunchtime so we sat in the picnic area to eat. After lunch we went to Marsden. We played on the sand and went rock pooling. We caught some crabs. We had a great day and would like to return another day.
