Seven Sisters and Highlights of the Sussex Coast

One of the best drives in the world, the Seven Sisters dramatic white chalk cliffs is outstanding.  The cliff views are an absolute must - the edge of the South Downs as they dip towards the sea is the crown jewel of the Sussex coast!  Stopping at Birling Gap (a National Trust Site) is a tourist hot spot, with visitor centre, beach access via some superbly designed steps and the most panoramic of cliff top views.  The Seven Sisters Country Park is the ideal place for a picnic and a wander in the shade, or hiring bicycles for a trip along the Cuckmere River Valley.

Viewpoints Along the South Downs

Other stunning high spots are Firle Beacon, or Bo Peep, where the song of skylarks above joyfully enhances the peaceful views across the valley to the North Downs and beyond.  It is the perfect spot for a picnic.  Or perhaps be dropped off for a walk to the Long Man of Wilmington, which is an ancient chalk figure with two mysterious walking sticks carved into the hillside by tribes long since forgotten.  The Vale of the White Horse also offers the most entrancing views of the valley below.   The Sussex Downs is also home to the Devil’s Dyke with its breathtaking views and walks all the way along the top.
