Tours are up and running again for islanders looking to look inside Corbière Lighthouse.

The iconic Jersey landmark has not run tours since the pandemic but is rolling out the red carpet once more to celebrate its 150th anniversary.

Spaces on the tour, run by professional guides, are available, in August and September, through the Jersey Uncovered website.

The tours may continue though, says Fleur Moisan from Ports of Jersey:

"We're running them at least until October at the moment and we will just see what the uptake is like.

"Hopefully we can continue into next year and next summer as well.

"If the interest is there, we will keep going for as long as we can, it's really special for us to be able to share that with everybody."

Our reporter Frankie Golding has had a sneak peek inside:

Other events have been taking place this year to commemorate the lighthouse's important milestone.

The most-photographed spot in Jersey was illuminated gold earlier this year.

A plaque has also been unveiled commemorating the lighthouse's years of service to the people of Jersey.

Vice Admiral Jerry Kyd was the first one to enter the lighthouse for a special tour. He gave us his thoughts: 

"It's lovely, around 36 metres up, in fact, it's higher than that. You can see for at least 25 - 30 miles, all the way to France.

"It's wonderful and will make a nice house for somebody one day - but let's hope it stays as a lighthouse for now!"
