The Beachy Head Story

The Beachy Head Story is a brand new free exhibition that will allow visitors to discover the beautiful landscape of Beachy Head and the South Downs. Start at the formation of the Downs and continue through time, discovering the stories of people who have shaped this landscape. Find out why Beachy Head has been so important to people for thousands of years, and why it is still a must-see tourist destination on the South Coast. The exhibition artwork has been created by local artist Ellie Fryer and evokes the exhibition’s key themes of heritage, environment and folklore. Our family friendly exhibition will have trails available for children, and staff will be on hand to answer any questions and recommend walks. Our giftshop stocks a variety of locally sourced and nature inspired products, with a range that exclusively features artwork from the exhibition. All donations will be reinvested into the exhibition and projects that will help to preserve this special Downland landscape.
