    Tips

    September 4, 2023

    Beachy Head Lighthouse was built by Trinity House in 1902 to guide passing vessels along the cliffs marking the seaward termination of the Sussex Downs. Since then it has become an iconic coastal gem of a feature with its red-and-white painted walls and large lens at the top. The cliffs at Beachy Head have featured in many movie scenes, and often stand in for the cliffs at Dover because they're usually much whiter and more pristine.

    Simply a magical place!
