Beachy Head

Truly stunning.
Beachy Head is one of those places, which only really nature can provide, where you can almost feel the Serotonin receptors and some other special little receptors, lets just call them the awe and beauty receptors shoot back and forth in your head. I am feeling a bit of Kant’s Critique of Pure Judgment, and my final year of university come through here, and although it may be a little bit poncy, this place deserves all the talk and the hype it gets.

Ever wondered where they shot the ending of Quadrophenia?
The bit where our (anti)hero drives his scooter over the edge of the white cliffs?
Well, that would be Beachy Head along the South East coast. The location of several films since including Atonement, it’s a breath-​taking place that’s distinguished by jagged, white chalk cliffs, a small beach and truly breath-​taking views of the English channel. There’s a cluster of pubs and a few holiday cottages dotted around the area but the real draw is the fresh air and peace and quiet. In the summer, it’s worth taking a picnic and walking down the metal staircase onto the secluded beach where you can usually sunbath and swim for a few hours without being disturbed.
Those with a fear of heights should be prepared, there’s quite a drop and no safety railings along the cliffs — so don’t go too near the edge!
