Seven Sisters Coastal Hike: Discover England’s Iconic White Cliffs

Embark on one of the UK's most iconic coastal hikes, the Seven Sisters! This spectacular trail winds through the South Downs National Park along the dramatic chalk cliffs that overlook the English Channel. Starting in the charming seaside town of Seaford, the route takes you over the undulating “sisters”-seven distinct hills that rise and fall along the coastline, each offering breathtaking views and photo opportunities. Along the way, you'll encounter historic Coastguard Cottages, the serene Cuckmere Haven where river meets sea, the bustling Birling Gap with its visitor centre and café, and the striking Beachy Head, the highest chalk sea cliff in Britain. The Seven Sisters cliffs have featured in films such as “Atonement” and are renowned for their natural beauty and geological significance. This hike is not only a physical challenge but also a journey through England’s coastal heritage.
