![Gold Star Critiquer/Silver Workshop Editor/Gold Note Writer [C: 108 W: 36 N: 59]](http://i1.trekearth.com/misc/g-s-g.gif) (272) | This is one of my favourite places and I enjoy seeing the cliffs in all seasons. This was taken in the evening just before sunset.
Beachy Head Lighthouse is 43 metres high with a 1st order 920 MM optic which rotates in a bed of mercury. The station gives out a white group flash, of 880,000 candelas intensity, twice every 20 seconds. The light is visible for 25 sea miles. The fog signal is a nautophone sounding every 30 seconds. Beachy Head lighthouse was automated and de-manned in June, 1983. |
