Come and join us for what is our most popular day hike and the most exhilarating coastal hike in the South East of England, with breathtaking views of the striking and dramatic white cliffs. A good proportion of the hike is up high on the cliffs as they loom down over the sea beneath. We're off to Sussex to hike the classic Seven Sisters hike from Seaford to Eastbourne.

Trip Highlights:

• Hike one of the most spectacular coastal hikes in England.

• A great physical challenge with several easy options to shorten if needed.

• Enjoy amazing views over the coastline for much of this hike.

• Finish in Eastbourne - England's sunniest town.

• Explore the South Downs National Park - the newest in the UK.

Hike Description.

This hike treats us with many iconic views and fresh sea air high up on the cliffs. The Seven Sisters are a series of white chalk cliffs and are set within the Seven Sisters Country Park. They are remnants of dry valleys in the South Downs and were formed at the end of the last Ice Age by glacial meltwater. There are in fact now eight sisters as an extra one has been created by coastal erosion.

Our hike starts in the coastal town of Seaford which is home to a Martello Tower from 1810 which formed part of a string of 103 towers to defend against French invasion in Napoleonic times. It then follows the cliffs along the South Downs way past Birling Gap and the Belle Tout lighthouse. The lighthouse was actually moved 17 metres in 1999 to stop it from falling victim to coastal erosion. Our hike shall then take us on to the beauty spot of Beachy Head which has a more sinister side, before we head to Eastbourne for some refreshments.

Some features on this walk include Queen Elizabeth's Tudor hunting lodge (outside view), a number of lakes and ponds such as Connaught Water (named after the Duke of Connaught) and the Loughton earthworks (Iron Age Camp) thought to date back to 500 BC, and a number of panoramic views such as 'High Beach.'

Bring your own food and snacks and plenty of water. and Dress Appropriately for the weather. Packed lunches. No shops in the forest.

Dress appropriately for the weather forecast.

The weather forecast may say rainfall is expected but I will always say don't look at the weather forecast for the day without checking the volume of rain expected. If less than 4 mm of rain is expected during the entire day then this implies that it will be a drizzle. Not heavy rain and rain will stop after 30-45 Minutes.

Volume of rainfall is more important information than the probability of rainfall.
Always look at the volume of the rainfall and not the probability of rainfall when reading weather forecast reports on weather.com .
1-2 Mm of rainfall is equal to a drizzle for less than 30 minutes.
