Wonderful and mysterious!

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

Great place to walk or cycle

I can recommend visiting the Long Man of Wilmington (it isn't an ancient Fertility symbol more an artificial 17th century tourist attraction, more fool, the faux American witches I saw there several years ago). However I can't recommend leaving the Long Man pub down the road, at 7.30pm, in January, several days after it snowed and then several days of negative temperatures froze it in place, and then climb straight up past it. There is a path but we decided that would take far too long to divert to it. It was not surprisingly steep.

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.
