The Belle Tout lighthouse was the original one at Beachy Head. It was built in 1832 and operated until the end of the century. The light was becoming ineffective due to it not being seen properly because of cliff erosion. The new Beachy Head lighthouse at the foot of the cliffs was therefore built in 1902.

The Belle Tour lighthouse, located directly on the cliffs, offers a great view over the cliffs of the Seven Sisters and Beachy Head behind them.
