Seven Sisters

The chalk cliffs of the Sussex coast, walked from Seaford to Eastbourne. The Seven Sisters are the remains of dry valleys cut off by the sea, so the path rises and falls over each of them in turn before Birling Gap, the Belle Tout lighthouse and Beachy Head — at 162 m the highest chalk sea cliff in Britain. [Route details] Start: Seaford · End: Eastbourne 20.5 km · west to east · 5 m to 158 m at Beachy Head About 6 hours [Along the way] - Cuckmere Haven 5 km · the Seven Sisters 6–12 km - Birling Gap 13 km · Belle Tout 15 km · Beachy Head 17 km [Good to know] - Both ends are on the railway from London, which is what makes this a day trip. - The cliff edge is undercut and falls without warning; the path keeps well back from it. - Cut from the King Charles III England Coast Path, which has no separate relation for this stretch — the walk is its Seaford-to-Eastbourne end. - Elevation is sampled from a terrain model, not recorded on the ground.
