"Visitors to Portsmouth often ask how to get to the Portsmouth Lighthouse. Well, this is the place, but it isn't in Portsmouth. It's in New Castle, the next town over - more of a village, really. The lighthouse is definitely cool, but you want to make sure you visit during one of their open house day..."s, so you can go inside. It's not just open all the time. When the Friends of the Lighthouse have the lighthouse open, you can climb up the winding staircase and go up into the top for a really good view. There's a lot of history to read, too. The lighthouse is on the grounds of the Coast Guard Station, so you have to park outside the gate and walk in. Also in there is a very cool, kind of wild and overgrown fort, called Fort Constitution. That's just wide open for rambling around. Very enjoyable on a hot summer day.
