Beachy Head Lighthouse

Beachy Head Lighthouse is a lighthouse located in the English Channel below the cliffs of Beachy Head in East Sussex. It is 43 m (141 ft) in height and became operational in October 1902. It was the last traditional-style ‘rock tower’ (i.e. offshore lighthouse) to be built by Trinity House. I took this photo late afternoon when there was no wind, the photo doesn’t do justice to the scale of the building. You can find two other photos nearby here and here.

Beachy Head is located within the administrative area of Eastbourne Borough Council which owns the land, forming part of the Eastbourne Downland Estate. The cliff is the highest chalk sea cliff in Britain, rising to 162 metres (531 ft) above sea level. The peak allows views of the south east coast towards Dungeness in the east, and to the Isle of Wight in the west. Its height has also made it one of the most common suicide spots in the world. I shot this photo 1 minute before a storm hit Beachy Head, you can see the approaching storm cloud dropping it’s rain in the distance. There is a another close up of the lighthouse here and of nearby seven sisters here.
