Belle Tout Lighthouse

The Belle Tout Lighthouse is a decommissioned lighthouse and British landmark located at Beachy Head, East Sussex close to the town of Eastbourne. It has been called "Britain's most famous inhabited lighthouse" because of its striking location and use in film and television. The construction of the granite lighthouse began in 1829 and it became operational on 11 October 1834. Its use of 30 oil lamps meant that the lighthouse would require two gallons of oil every hour. It was in service until 2 October 1902, when the new "Beachy Head Lighthouse" was built at the bottom of the cliffs, which I showed in the images before. In 2008 the lighthouse was converted into a luxury bed and breakfast.
