This is a real place


Beachy Head, England (credit Rhy Davies). A more prosaic (but equally impressive) aerial view is shown below (click for bigger), with the vantage point for the upper photo marked.

The name Beachy Head appears as 'Beauchef' in 1274, and was 'Beaucheif' in 1317, becoming consistently Beachy Head by 1724, and has nothing to do with beach. Instead it is a corruption of the original French words meaning "beautiful headland".
