Today I will tell you about one of the most famous sights of the south coast of Great Britain – cape Beachy Head (Beachy Head)…
Beachy Head Cape (Beachy Head)
It is located in England, near the city of Eastbourne, about 115 km south of London, and is a sheer 162-meter cliff, the top of which is covered with an amazing green grass carpet, which contrasts beautifully with the whiteness of the cliffs and the turquoise color of the ocean.

However, it is also popular with people who have decided to end their lives, for which it is even called the “Suicide Cape”. But according to statistics, from 15 to 25 people commit suicide here every year. There were even cases when entire families threw themselves down from steep cliffs, as well as when suicides flew off cliffs right on cars.
