Belle Tout Lighthouse moved - 03/19/99 12:28 AM
Belle Tout Lighthouse was moved to keep it from falling over the cliff edge and into the sea. The following web site is a good starting point to not only get the details of the move but also about Beachy Head Lighthouse which is located in the water below the Bell Tout lighthouse.
Beachy Head just recently was almost destroyed by the cliff face falling into the sea. This is the same cliff face erosion that threatened Belle Tout. It could have, almost been Belle Tout falling over the side and taking off more of the cliff with it and destroying Beachy Head at the same time.
Belle Tout, the Beachy Head lighthouse and surrounding area has been the scene of several movies and BBC programs.
