Belle Tout Lighthouse, a decommissioned lighthouse perched atop the dramatic white cliffs of Beachy Head in East Sussex, is a captivating landmark with a rich history. Built in 1832, it served as a navigational aid until 1902, when it was replaced by the Beachy Head Lighthouse due to its vulnerability to sea mists.

Belle Tout’s unique location and striking appearance have made it a popular subject for film and television, notably featuring in the James Bond film “The Living Daylights.” In 1999, the entire structure was moved inland to protect it from coastal erosion, a testament to the efforts to preserve this iconic building. Today, Belle Tout operates as a bed and breakfast, offering guests a truly unique stay with breathtaking views of the English Channel and the surrounding coastline.
