A busy hub for people coming to walk and admire the Seven Sisters chalk cliffs. There is a cafe, toilet block, ice cream van (in summer), shop, visitors’ centre and lots of indoor and outdoor seating.

Hiking

A lovely option for a beach walk at Birling Gap. Below the visitor center you can search for shells and relax while walking by the sea; a staircase leads down to the beach.

Hiking

The small hamlet of Birling Gap, with its visitor center, offers the ideal starting point to experience the famous chalk cliffs. There are parking options and information about the national park here. Of course there are also souvenirs, snacks and coffee. The "Seven Sisters" are a series of chalk cliffs that have been formed by the coast over centuries. It is definitely worth visiting the chalk cliff formations and hiking through the national park.
