The lighthouse on the edge

Secret Sussex

Available for over a year

Perched high above Beachy Head, Belle Tout has survived shipwrecks, wartime shelling, and a daring 17m (56ft) move inland. Today it stands restored as a dramatic clifftop holiday retreat, its history woven into every room – even as its owner keeps a wary eye on the advancing sea. Image courtesy of belletout.co.uk
