Beachy Head in the news...

Beachy Head is in the news at the moment, with the tragic case of Neil and Kazumi Puttick, throwing themselves off with the dead body of their five-year-old son in a rucksack. Beachy Head has been described as a 'fatal attraction'. It is an area of outstanding natural beauty. At 535ft above sea level, it is the highest chalk cliff along Britain's coastline and this makes it a notorious suicide spot. On average there are about 20 deaths on an annual basis.
