Beachy Head is a chalk headland on the south coast of England, close to the town of Eastbourne in the county of East Sussex, immediately east of the Seven Sisters. The cliff there is the highest chalk sea cliff in Britain, rising to 162 m (530 ft) above sea level. The peak allows views of the south east coast from Dungeness to the east, to Selsey Bill in the west. Its height has also made it one of the most notorious suicide spots in the world.
The chalk was formed in the Late Cretaceous period, between 65 and 100 million years ago, when the area was under the sea. During the Cenozoic Era the chalk was uplifted (see Cenozoic Era). When the last Ice Age ended, sea levels rose and the English Channel formed, cutting into the chalk to form the dramatic cliffs along the Sussex coast. [Source]

Breathtaking photography. Thank-you for sharing.
Very nice pic of Beachy Head
Stunning picture of a stunning mark of Mother Nature. Thank you for sharing some of the history associated with it as well. π
PS~ Thank you for stopping by my blog. I had to go make some corrections this morning as I posted the incorrect one, but … that’s how it goes. I appreciate your time!
I came by to do a little camping but none of your posts are accepting LIKEs this evening.
oh! I dunno why that is happening : ( but I’m glad you came to visit again : D
Incredible natural wonder. Beautiful photo Kinda makes my palms sweat thinking about getting too close to the edge. But…can’t…resist.
Love your blog! Some really cool stuff here and the pictures are awesome. Thanks for the like on my blog.
Beautiful. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog
What a beautiful picture, I wouldn’t want to go near the edge though. Scary.
haha.. you shouldn’t.. I’ve read that its very dangerous too..
Incredible photos
That’s a dreamy shot of the notorious Beachy Head cliffs. Seeing it like that, helps make physical sense of a scene in a novel I read years ago that I never quite understood!
I understand why it could be difficult to imagine something like this. You have to see it for yourself at least once to truly believe that something so magnificent exists.
I might have to made do with your photograph this life! Unless I win lotto my last pennies are earmarked for South America where something or other has waylaid me these last forty years π¦
Reblogged this on futures4youth.
Stunning!
Captivating photo!
Unique and interesting site!
Thank you so much π
It really does look like the edge of the world. Sometimes, it would be nice to see what is on the other side.
I love this photo….

Just A M A Z I N G !
Wow
A picture is worth a thousand words, but I’m speechless; really. I’ve seen nothing like it.
Glad you liked it π
I have actually been there, but this picture is amazing, it wasn’t like that when I was there, but it was impressive though.
That is great! Yea the picture does look extra ordinary.. I would like to visit this place myself one day π
I walked Beachy Head many times when I was young and in love. It’s best of all in a screaming gale, and the wearher and the scenery match each other in grandeur and terror!
Sounds amazing.I would love to visit this place some day. It does seem a little scary though!
this a FANTASTIC photo. I’ve been to Beachy Head, it was a cold miserable windy English day (UK weather is usually miserable).
We took the Ferry from Dover to France and of course took lots of photos of the White Cliffs, but this is spectacular. I could never walk out there, I’d have to crawl and hang on to the grass.
that must have been awesome! haha.. it does look pretty scary π
Magnificent but scary at the same time. I love your posts, they are such interesting facts. π
Thanks a lot Deborah π
Wow, amazing image and cool info! I remember seeing the white cliffs of Dover when coming from Holland on a ferry once, really stunning, but this cliff is clearly on a whole other scale!
Great post, thanks for sharing π
Rohan.

My dad plays music so we traveled a lot when I was young. I hope to start travelling again soon π
