Seven Sisters clifftop walk

Map of the Seven Sisters clifftop walk route showing the full 12-mile walk route

The classic clifftop walk: Seaford Head, Cuckmere Haven, then all seven Sisters to Birling Gap and Beachy Head. Finish with fish and chips in Eastbourne.

Britain's most famous chalk cliffs, walked end to end. The path rollercoasters over each Sister in turn, so the 12 miles work harder than the distance suggests. Cross the Cuckmere at Exceat bridge, refuel at Birling Gap, and save something for the final climb over Beachy Head into Eastbourne.
