- Cover photo description:
- Sweeping panorama of british chalk cliff coastline with distant people standing on the very edge. Contemplative, dramatic moody sky. Beachy Head. From the French beau chef (“beautiful headlandâ€), Beachy Head is a four-mile bulge of white chalk coastline stretching from Eastbourne—a Victorian resort town referred to by the locals as “God’s Waiting Room†for its preponderance of retirees—to Birling Gap, a hamlet that was a popular smugglers’ haunt in the eighteenth century. Beachy Head is the sea-sliced eastern end of Kipling’s beloved “blunt, bow-headed, whale backed Downs,†a sixty-mile chain of chalk hills formed when the African continent bumped into Europe some 50 million years ago, folding and lifting the chalk sea bed over a period of 30 million years. At the foot of the last of the hills of the Downs, in the village of Meads, the South Downs Way begins, a 100-mile path that meanders the length of the Downs from Eastbourne to Hampshire.
