Belle Tout and the Cliffs
Image: © Len Williams Taken: 5 May 2016
The Belle Tout lighthouse was in danger of falling into the sea so in 1999 the 850 ton lighthouse was moved 17 metres further inland. Clearly further erosion has taken place as the old access road passes too close to the cliff edge. A new road has been constructed to the right of this path.
