The Seven Sisters - 12 miles, nine hills.

The Seven Sisters is considered by many to be the best coastal walk in Southeast England, with classic views of chalk cliffs and beach. Route from Seaford to Eastbourne, with Beachy Head the final hill.

It requires a lot of climbing, and walkers should be fit. The pace will be moderate, so expect a long day and make no plans for the evening. We will go ahead in nearly all types of weather, and there is almost no cover, so come well prepared with waterproofs and/or hats and sun cream. Also the walk is timed for low tide, aiming to wade across sharp stones at Cuckmere. Bring water shoes or old slippers that can be completely immersed.  Bring plenty of water and a picnic lunch for midday, and we can stop for fish and chips at Eastbourne at the end of the day.

 

Travel: 9:17 train from London Victoria (9:23 Clapham Junction) destined for Eastbourne.  Change at Lewesarriving 10:22.  Depart from Lewes on 10:28 train for Seaford, arriving Seaford 10:46.    Walkers meet at Seaford station.    Buy a day return ticket to Eastbourne, which covers both routes.
