Last weekend we went on another family outing to a National Trust spot. We’re making the most of it, having only recently joined the organisation.
Helen wanted to see the Seven Sisters, dramatic chalk cliffs on the South Coast. After getting stuck in horrendous traffic outside Brighton, we eventually arrived.
En-route se stopped off at Beachy Head. It was a glorious sunny day and it looked absolutely stunning. The picture here is of Beachy Head lighthouse at the bottom of the cliffs.
The landscape in that area is absolutely amazing. I think I could have taken photographs all day. Alas, the kids wanted to fly their kite and so I had to put the camera down and help them with this instead. This was no bad thing to be honest with you, kite flying is rather good fun.

I love lighthouses, there’s just something about them. I’m not sure I would have made a very good lighthouse keeper – although there would have been plenty of opportunities to take photos, I suppose. Glad you had fun flying the kite too.
I think i’d find being a lighthouse keeper a bit lonely. But the photographic opportunities must be amazing.
brilliant photo, the sea looks so inviting x
It did look inviting, but not from that height!
That is a beautiful photo. We don’t get to the sea as much as I’d like to. The views are always fabulous.
I’d never been here before but the view really is superb. I imagine it to be very different on a stormy day.
The water looks amazing with all those different shades of blue. I’d love to see from that lighthouse. Fab picture!
Thanks, it was an amazingly clear day and I htink that made the pic.
Stunning photo of Beachy Head lighthouse – what a beautiful day you had for your walk. Kite flying sounds like it was a lot of fun too 🙂
We love a bit of kite flying and it was a superb day for that particular walk.
Glorious view, it looks like it was a beautiful day out.
Thank you for linking up
It was a stunning day and we had a great time.
This is a beautiful photo John, I love the composition and how the lighthouse is the centrepiece framed by the cliff.
Thakns Victoria. That’s exactly how I wanted the pic; the lighthouse framed by the cliff.
What a picture perfect view! the sea looks so clear and fresh! Clio lending a helping hand for Coombe Mill
Eeven if I say so myself, it is a stunning view isn’t it? Thanks for commenting.
What a fantastic view! It looks like such a lovely day x
It was a superb day Kim. Really gorgeous.
I’m a little bit in love with this photo, It’s beautiful and calm, though the story will be different on a stormy night I guess. Lovely #MySundayPhoto
Delighted to hear you’re in love with the pic! Yes, I imagine the scenery to be very different in bad weather.
Hi John, I love everything about this photo; the colours of the sea, the fallen rocks at the base of the cliff and the lighthouse centered proudly in the middle.

Oh the colours are great aren’t they? That’s what really got me.
What beautiful shades of blue and a great shot of the lighthouse. Fantastic photo! #MySundayPhoto
Lovely shot of a sweet little lighthouse!
I don’t think it’s that small, just the perspective among the rocks. Great view though isn’t it?
that is such a beautiful scene. i love the way the sun is shining on the waves. well done!
It is a stunning location, at least in the sunshine.
Amazing angle & perspective. I would want to get photos all day too if the view is as pretty as this! #mysundayphoto
I think I could have spent all day there as well. In fact one guy was flying a drone overhead. He must have got some awesome pictures.
A good trip despite the traffic then 🙂 Great photo…can’t remember the last time I flew a kite though!
Eurgh, the traffic almost ruined the day but the views at the end were worth it! Kite flying, by the way, is awesome!
Fabulous photo, what a great vantage point. The water looks beautiful too, so many shades of blue x
Thanks Sara. i think I was very fortunate with the weather on that day. The sun lit the sea up well.
OMG, I am absolutely dying to see these! this is such helpful information in helping me plan out my own trip. These photos are pretty epic too,
This place is very beautiful and such a great piece of art. This can amaze every traveler.
Thanks for such an informative guide.
Thanks Emily, very kind of you. It is a very beautiful spot in the sunshine. i wonder how it would look in a storm? Equally dramatic but for very different reasons I think.
SO beautiful! Looks like the perfect day trip. I’ve been there, but it was many years ago, and I can barely remember it. However, those white cliffs are still vivid in my mind.
Thanks, really glad you like hte pic and that it bought back memories.
