Beachy Head - Great Attractions (England)
- 13 years ago
Take a tour of Beachy Head in England – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats.
In the English East Sussex county, lies a tranquil chalk headland, the Beachy Head.
The chalk formation started accumulating more than 65 million years ago, around the period known as Late Cretaceous.
Lying in the vicinity of the Seven Sisters chalks cliffs, this serene place is simply entrancing with gorgeous views of the sea, the sky, and the land.
There are two lighthouses built on the surroundings of this headland, because it posed a significant threat to ships.
Due to the continuous erosion of the cliffs, the Belle Tout lighthouse had to be shifted 17 meters inland.
Steep cliffs, pristine blue waters, green lands rest unruffled in the laps of nature set to spellbind you.
