About the station

After the Coastguard watch facilities on Stepper Point and Trevose Head closed, several small vessels and their crews were lost close by. Most would have been in sight of the Stepper Point lookout. In March 2000 the decision was made to reopen this station as part of the NCI. A small band of dedicated volunteers led by the first Station Manager, Derek Lindsey, carried out a complete restoration of the lookout. Local tradesmen helped by donating their labour for specialised tasks.
