When it comes to things to do in East Sussex, it is hard to go past the chalk cliffs. From Beachy Head to Cuckmere Haven Beach, there are so many unique and impressive spots to view this magnificent coastline from. Unlike Dover which is well fenced and often netted for erosion, you can enjoy unadulterated views of the cliffs at Seven Sisters Beachy Head and its surrounds, making for an impressive and unique experience.
Allowing the cliffs to erode naturally lets the chalk cliff’s natural beauty to shine through. Additionally, they are spectacle in all seasons (hold your hat if you brave them on a windy day!). Our favourite time of day is the afternoon as the sun gives the most beautiful glow.Â
Furthermore, if you are feeling like you’ve been here before, or are having a little de ja vu, Beachy Head was one of the standard wallpapers on Windows 7, so you may have already been enjoying the view from the comfort of your own home.
Allow a full day to properly explore the area. They’re best enjoyed at a slow pace and with rest stops along the way. The views and the pubs in the area are magnificent. It’s worth noting that if you come by car it is free to park at Cuckmere Haven, however most other places have metered parking. Furthermore you’ll need a different parking ticket for each area as they’re run by different companies. Make sure to bring some change with you as well!
Wow this place is beautiful and so are your photos. Very nice.
Wow! This took my breath away. I’ve never seen anything like the white cliffs in my entire life; they look magical. I thought I had nice beaches in QLD, this completely takes the cake.
It would be so nice to live near one of these beautiful places! I love how serene and peaceful they all are. The view is just stunning!
This looks amazing. Love your pictures. I have dream of camping one night on cliff but never done yet.
Omg what a breathtaking view!!!! I would love to view that for myself one day
Beautiful! I’d love to visit everywhere in England!

I did not know about this place! I only went to the Seven Sisters for the first time last year! It would be fun to check this one out! It DEFINITELY looks like it rivals the Cliffs of Dover! #TheWeeklyPostcard
Stunning photos! I admit, I’ve never heard of these white cliffs but now I’m definitely interested in seeing them. #TheWeeklyPostcard
I went to all of these places when I used to live in London and I absolutely loved it! We made a day trip out of it and drove almost the whole length of it, stopping along the way for awesome views photos and a picnic and we even went to a museum. The parking costs were a pain in the ass and now that I have discovered hiking, I would love to go back to hike the length of the cliffs. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

Such a beautiful country! Thank you on a detailed impressive guide!
