Beachy Head

• Beachy Head is one of the most beautiful places
  in East Sussex. It is the cost line at the end of
  a number of chalk cliffs called Seven Sisters.
  The drop from the top of the cliff to the sea
  level is very steep and has a breath-taking view.
  The lighthouse at bottom of the drop makes it
  more attractive.

Another lighthouse

• There is also another lighthouse called Belle
  Tout on the top of the cliff. Because of the
  danger of landslide, recently they've moved this
  lighthouse back.
