That looks a proper lighthouse. It's a pity it doesn't seem to be one of the lighthouses open to the public looking at the Northern Lighthouse Board website.
I've visited quite a few that are open to the public in the south west. Portland Bill lighthouse I've been to on numerous occasions, once encountering it's fog horn in operation!
Fabulous pieces of engineering especially the lens assembly. Although weighing some 3.5 tons it can be moved with one finger mainly due to the incredibly low friction as it floats in a bath of mercury. The replacement stepper motor drive is now only 10's of watts.
