(October 6) About 20 km east of Brighton are the Seven Sisters Cliffs, a stretch of steep white chalk cliffs on the coast. The name arises from the fact that there are seven rises and falls in the clifftop. We are still 100 km from Dover, but these cliffs are quite like those famous white cliffs.
I was a nice sunny day, but with a stiff cool breeze so we needed our warm jackets. We parked at the end of the road out of Seaford, and walked the 1 km or so down to the beach. You get great views along the coast as you approach the old Coastguard Cottages. This track is their only access to the outside world.
