Beachy Head

Daddy? Can we go to Beach Head and watch people jumping?

Seven Sisters, from East Dean/Friston

Beachy Head is a chalk headland close to the town of Eastbourne (East Sussex, south of England).The cliff there is the highest chalk sea cliff in Britain, rising to 162 m (530 ft) above sea level.

Its height has also made it one of the most notorious suicide spots in the world.

The Beachy Head Chaplaincy Team conducts regular day and evening patrols of the area in attempts to locate and stop potential jumpers.

Because mist and low clouds could hide the light of Belle Tout, another lighthouse was built in the sea below Beachy Head. It was 43 m in height and became operational in October 1902. For more than 80 years, the red-and-white striped tower was manned by three lighthouse keepers. Their job was to maintain the light, which rotates two white flashes every 20 seconds and is visible 26 miles (42 km) out to sea. The lighthouse was fully automated in 1983.
Due to cliff erosion, in March 1999 Belle Tout lighthouse was moved more than 50 feet (15 m) further inland.

Petit PS francophone pour ceux qui ont lu l'Ile Noire d'Hergé: il y a des méchants qui essayent de pousser Tintin de là-haut au début de l'épisode, mais ouf, il est sauvé par Milou et ...une chèvre.
