What to expect

The Seven Sisters are a row of white chalk cliffs on the Sussex coast, between Seaford and Eastbourne. A popular walk runs from Cuckmere Haven up and down the cliffs to Birling Gap and on towards Beachy Head. The ups and downs are steeper than they look. The cliffs are eroding, so keep well back from the edges.
