Welcome
The Belle Toute Lighthouse Preservation Trust is a
not-for-profit organisation that was formed with the
sole aim of buying, preserving and opening to the public
this magnificent building that stands at Beachy Head in
East Sussex.
Unfortunately we have recently been advised the
lighthouse has been sold to someone else and we will
unfortunately not be able to realise our ambition to
make this historic landmark a tourist attraction,
visitor centre and bed and breakfast accommodation.
We are currently liaising with our supporters and the
national press to provide an update to the British
public on this latest news and our intentions for the
future.
The website will be updated in due course to reflect
this.
Please visit again soon to read these updates.
What are our plans?
It is the trusts intention to purchase the lighthouse
with charitable donations, open it to the public as a
visitor attraction, information centre and bed &
breakfast, whilst ensuring that it is preserved and looked
after for the future.
Last year we were 'pipped at the post' before being able
to make an offer and we had conceded that we would
probably never acquire the lighthouse.
However, due to a remarkable turn of events the sale has
fallen through and the magnificent Belle Toute is up for
sale once again!
See our news page
for more information.
