Everything about Seven Sisters Sussex totally explained
The
Seven Sisters are a series of
chalk cliffs by the
English Channel. They form part of the
South Downs in
East Sussex, between the towns of
Seaford and
Eastbourne in southern
England, and are within the
Seven Sisters Country Park
. They are the remnants of
dry valleys in the chalk South Downs gradually being eroded by the sea. The cliffs are occasionally used in film and television as a stand-in for the more famous
white cliffs of Dover, since they're relatively free of
anachronistic modern development. They also feature at the beginning of the film .
From west to east, the sequence starts just east of
Cuckmere Haven. The cliff peaks and the dips between them are individually named. Listed below, the peaks are in bold.

Just east of the last peak is
Birling Gap. Beyond, on the top of the next hill, is
Belle Tout lighthouse and beyond that
Beachy Head.
The
South Downs Way runs along the edge of the cliffs, taking a very undulating course.
Many landmarks around the area are named after the cliffs, including the
Seven Sisters Sheep Centre.
