| Beachy Head Lighthouse, as seen from the cliffs high above |
Beachy head is extremely photogenic. Some pictures of those massive white cliffs are instantly recognizable as England. They are featured in several movies. Though the "white cliffs of Dover" are what we learn in school, Beachy Head is what we see in the pictures. Dover is a bit further east but not as spectacular.
What is there to photograph here?
1. The White Cliffs of Beachy Head can be shot in isolation or with some of the sea birds to give sense of scale.
2. Coast Guard Cottages -- these are further west and require a circuitous drive but the view with the white cliffs in the background is unparalleled!

3. Birling Gap -- This looks west towards those Coast Guard Cottages and shows the "Seven Sisters".

4. Beachy Head -- the cliffs directly above the lighthouse are spectacular, scary and straight down! Don't get too close to the edge. It doesn't look very stable to me.

sea at high tide. At low tide the land stretches out to it. |
5. The Beachy Head Lighthouse. I captured this in many shots but found the isolated shot with the house surrounded by the angry ocean to be my favorite.

2. Lovely photogenic village of Alfriston. This little town stole my heart. It's picture perfect and has most-welcoming residents. Do stop by and visit their lovely church.
