Beachy Head

Beachy Head is a vast chalk headland punching out from the south coast of Sussex, close to the town of Eastbourne The cliff at Beachy Head is the highest chalk sea cliff in Britain, rising to 530 feet above sea level. The peak allows views of the south east coast from Dungeness to the east, to Selsey Bill in the west.

Beachy Head marks the point where the vast arch of the South Downs, having run from eastern Hampshire and all through Sussex, hemming the coastal towns in behind it, reaches the sea.

Immediately west is a series of cliffs known as the Seven Sisters. (Read more)
