Description
The Seven Sisters cliffs, the coastguard cottages on the South Downs Way, South Downs National Park, East Sussex, England, UK, GB, Europe
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. They are within the South Downs National Park which is bounded by the coast, the Cuckmere and the A259 road. They are the remnants of dry valleys in the chalk South Downs, which are gradually being eroded by the sea
From west to east, the sequence starts just east of Cuckmere Haven. The cliff peaks and the dips between them are individually named. There are seven hills, with an eighth one being created by the erosion of the sea.

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. A lighthouse in the sea marks the latter headland.
The South Downs Way runs along the edge of the cliffs, taking a very undulating course
