The cottages act as a reminder of coastal erosion.
Birling Gap Cottages的点评
点评：I saw the Birling Gap cottages whilst taking part in the Cancer Research ‘Big Hike’ event in June from Beachy head via the Birling Gap, River Cuckmere and the ridge holding the Long Man of Wilmington to Alfriston. The following day I revisited with my wife to explore the area some more.
The Birling Gap is owned by National Trust, there is a large (pay & display) car park here which gets busy at popular times. The car park is free for National Trust members. I believe that there is also a public bus service which serves the area.
The four cottages at the Birling Gap remain from an original terrace of eight which were built in 1878 to house coastguard personnel. Coastal erosion over the years has gradually eaten away the cliff faces here and periodically another cottage is lost or demolished as the coast line recedes inland.
The information centre is well worth visiting in connection with the history of cottages, it shows how much the area has changed over many years, particularly with respect to the cumulative coastal erosion clearly visible in old photographs and maps. On the day of our visit, there was a member of National Trust staff on duty here who was very knowledgeable about the area. We were advised that the one currently nearest the sea is due to be demolished within the next year to prevent a structural collapse impacting on people’s safety.
Certainly, glad that I have visited this area, the scenery is striking and photogenic, the cottages act as a reminder of coastal erosion through the years and the transitory nature of the natural earth.
Our scoring reflects the cottages as a standalone attraction.

翻译：6 月份，我在参加癌症研究“大徒步”活动时看到了 Birling Gap 小屋，从 Beachy head 出发，途经 Birling Gap、Cuckmere 河和威尔明顿长人山脊，到达 Alfriston。第二天，我和妻子再次造访，进一步探索该地区。
Birling Gap 归国家信托所有，这里有一个大型（付费停车场），在高峰时段非常繁忙。国家信托会员可免费停车。我相信该地区还有公共巴士服务。
Birling Gap 的四间小屋是 1878 年为海岸警卫队人员建造的八排原始建筑的遗留。多年来，海岸侵蚀逐渐侵蚀了这里的悬崖面，随着海岸线向内陆退缩，小屋会定期消失或被拆除。
信息中心非常值得一去，因为这里有小屋的历史，它展示了该地区多年来的变化，特别是在旧照片和地图上清晰可见的累积海岸侵蚀。在我们参观的那天，有一位国家信托工作人员在这里值班，他对该地区非常了解。我们被告知，目前最靠近大海的小屋将于明年拆除，以防止结构倒塌影响人们的安全。
当然，我很高兴参观了这个地区，风景引人注目，上镜，小屋提醒人们多年来的海岸侵蚀和自然地球的短暂性。
我们的评分反映了小屋作为一个独立景点的水平。
