Beachy Head, East Sussex - a photo on Flickriver

Beachy Head, East Sussex

Beachy Head rises 530 feet above the sea below and is the highest chalk sea cliff in Britain.

The main reason for Beachy Head's popularity is the wonderful panoramic view which can be seen from the cliff top. If you look east you see the beaches and town of Eastbourne, the Pier and the Harbour, and then on to Pevensey Bay and Hastings and, on an exceptionally clear day, Dungeness in Kent, nearly 40 miles away.

Looking west, you can see even further, up to 70 miles, past Seaford Head to Newhaven and Brighton and then on to Selsey Bill near Chichester in West Sussex.

Beachy Head Lighthouse

Built in the sea below Beachy Head. It is 141 ft high and became operational in October 1902.

For more than 80 years, the red-and-white striped tower was manned by three lighthouse keepers. Their job was to maintain the light, which rotates, making two white flashes every 20 seconds. It was then visible 26 nautical miles out to sea.

The lighthouse was fully automated in 1983 and the keepers withdrawn.
