Beachy Head — Attraction in Eastbourne

We came here on a beautiful winter's day to blow the cobwebs away after Christmas. Spotted the cliffs from Eastbourne Pier and decided to drive over. We parked in the first car park we came to which meant we had quite a walk to the 'viewpoint' but there was literally no one else on the trail we took so it was really nice and quiet. Do be careful if you take the little winding path as there is only room for one person at a time and I imagine it can get slippery after rainfall. The views from the actual viewpoint (opposite the pub) are lovely, but I recommend walking further down towards the lighthouse as the crowds thin out and you can take some brilliant photos. The winter sun was low and it made it seem like there was a permanent sunset, which was incredible. Once you get to the lighthouse it is possible to walk further, to the next lighthouse and then the seven sisters cliffs - that's if you fancy making a day of it! Definitely recommend this walk for spectacular views and a calming atmosphere. Just stay away from...

Beachy Head is stunning—towering white cliffs, sweeping sea views, and a lighthouse that looks like it belongs on a postcard.

Overall, it’s breathtaking—both from the scenery and the gale-force wind. Luckily I went during a heat-wave and it was baking hot, it was fantastic going up and down the rolling, virgin chalk bluffs packed with tourist groups alongside one another, and felt quite communal in a sense- like we were all pilgrims on a journey to the ice-cream shop at the endpoint. I loved it, it was an exceptional hike.

The only downer? A quid to use the bogs and fill up your hydration bottle, what a scam but hey, that's England now or so I'm told. Mercifully there were enough brambles in season that I could pick wild blackberries on the way back down instead and...

Fantastic views. Cliff and countryside walks. Beachy Head Lighthouse is a lighthouse located in the English Channel below 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. Painted Red & White 80 years the red-and-white striped tower was manned by three lighthouse keepers. Their primary job was to maintain the revolving light, which was then visible 26 nautical miles (48 km; 30 mi) out to sea. For most of the 20th century cooking was done on a solid-fuel range and the accommodation was lit by paraffin lamps . It was made Electricity reached in 1975, whereupon an electric lamp was installed in the optic. The explosive fog signal remained in use until 1976 until it was replaced by an 'ELG 500' electric emitter . Pictured thousands of time and now by drones on fine...
