イーストディーンアンドフリストンの天然記念物・トップ20

Keep an eye on the weather forecast. It was misty on the day we passed by, and we couldn't see a thing.

An absolute highlight on the way from Birling Gap over the cliffs of the Seven Sisters to Saltmarsh Farmhouse, one panoramic view follows the next!!!

This is quite a challenging walk, we got to the Birling Gap car park early to set off , please note that the cafe opens at 9.30am. The views were breathtaking, everywhere you looked. We stopped at the visitors centre and refuelled and continued the walk, again every footpath had a view, we can across another little cafe stop and continued on. My husband and I both agreed this has been our number one walk and will definitely be doing it again 😊

The Seven Sisters certainly presented a challange with a lot of up and down in the latter quarter of our hike but the views are magnificent.

Sculpted by melt-water and heavy rain during recent ice ages, and the erosive power of the sea more recently, the present-day cliffs mark the end of a series of natural inland gulleys. The Seven Sisters Cliffs are primary composed of chalk , a soft fine-grained, and porous limestone rock formed from accumulation of calcium carbonate-rich remains of marine organism. Birling Gap is a coastal popular hub the the South Downs meet the sea.

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.

There are some paid parking spaces directly at the visitor center, a good starting point for hikes on the cliffs.
