The South Downs in England are magnificent. Here’s a tour to explore narrow country roads, ancient villages and beautiful landscapes. With views stretching 30 miles from the top of The Downs to the majestic white chalk cliffs of the South coast, this is a feast for the eyes. 🤩

英國南邊的白堊斷崖其實是浮游綠藻的骨骸沉積。經過百萬年後,海底的微生物百骨塚成為海平面上的觀光勝地,在天好的日子,從對面的法國港口便能遠眺英國南方海峽連綿的白色峭壁群。
我的英國前房東曾跟我提過,Seven Sisters Cliff 所在的 Brighton 一帶,在 70 年代時曾經是已婚人士的偷情地點。不僅因為這裡是最靠近倫敦的海邊之一,也因為在當年英國政策下,男女去飯店 check-in 必須檢查身份證,確定彼此是配偶才能入住,Brighton 卻是例外。旅宿業者睜一隻眼、閉一隻眼,賺取情夫情婦的錢。據說當時 Brighton 熱鬧非凡。
十月下旬的英國早已經是迎來大衣上身的天氣了,Brighton 的人潮也少了。我們坐在白堊斷崖下曬太陽,旁邊南歐來的兩個婆婆脫到只剩內衣在曬日光浴。同行的朋友說,去年夏天,一名南韓的女學生在懸崖邊拍照時腳滑落崖死亡,可能就掉落在我們躺著的這片礫石灘上。
回家後查了新聞,那名女孩子到此獨遊,央請同是韓國人的路人幫忙拍照。事發後警方破解女子的手機,看見幫忙拍照的路人在她落崖前拍了六張照片,緊鄰崖邊。
“There were six photos of her standing extremely close to the cliffs... her face shows nothing but enjoyment."
