Seven Sisters White Cliffs

Seven Sisters White Cliffs is one of the most beautiful and charming tourist destinations in England. Especially when traveling to experience nature here, you will feel like you are walking on a new world. The scenery of the steep white cliffs and the vast sea creates an impressive feeling from the first sight. The beautiful cliffside paths offer you the opportunity to explore both the sea and coastal views, along with the vast sky that gives you a sense of freedom and tranquility no matter where you stand. Additionally, the viewpoints and educational sites about the geography here make the trip even more diverse.

Rated by National Geographic as a must-see place in your lifetime, this place is truly amazing.

1️⃣ Recommended photo spots 👍 ✅ Beachy Head: The highest point of the white cliffs and the highest coastal cliff in the UK. Standing on the edge of the cliff, you can see a red and white lighthouse in the distance, with stunning views. ✅ Belle Tout Lighthouse: From Beachy Head to the white lighthouse, this section of the road is undulating, and you can take pictures of the staggered white cliffs, winding lawns, and lighthouses. This is my favorite section of the scenery. ✅ Seven Sisters: There are seven consecutive white cliffs here, like seven young girls holding hands and looking out at the sea. It is the filming location of Jay Chou's MV and an excellent place to watch the sunset 🌅. ✅ Cuckmere Haven: The seaside cottage 🏠 that the male and female protagonists dream of in the movie "Atonement" is here, and the scenes in the movie are real.

National Geographic didn't lie to me, there really is an end to the world.

I first learned about the White Cliffs from the movie "Dunkirk," which features a famous line: "You see the white cliffs, you see home." For the British, the White Cliffs are a symbol of home, and seeing them means you're home. The White Cliffs are actually a typical landform of the southern coast of England, formed by the combined effects of marine erosion and tectonic movements. They are famous for their steep and spectacular cliffs, with white rocks contrasting beautifully with the blue sea. · The Seven Sisters Cliffs are the most famous section, named after the seven main cliffs that rise and fall like natural works of art. It takes about 2 hours to drive from London. Although the weather forecast was sunny on the day we went, the clouds were thick by the sea, so we didn't see the White Cliffs at their best. But I was already very satisfied, as rain is the norm in England, and this place indeed has the solitude and grandeur of the world's end. · 🔀Route The Seven Sisters Cliffs cover a large area. If you don't want to hike, you can just stroll around the viewing spots and the beach near the Birling Gap parking lot. But if you want to hike, you can plan a 1-hour hiking route like us: Birling Gap - Belle Tout Lighthouse - Beachy Head Lighthouse. That is, climb up to the white lighthouse on the east side from the parking lot, then go down to Beachy Head Lighthouse. If you hire a car, you can ask the driver to wait at the parking lot on the Beachy Head side, so you don't have to walk back. · 📸Photography ✅Birling Gap: This is the largest parking lot at the Seven Sisters Cliffs. From here, you can go down to the beach to see the White Cliffs. The light is good in the morning, but a bit backlit in the afternoon, although you can watch the sunset in the evening. But the best place to take panoramic photos of the Seven Sisters Cliffs is on the hillside on the east side, which is also the starting point of the hiking trail. · ✅Belle Tout Lighthouse: This is the white lighthouse, the highest point of the hike, and one of the highest coastal cliffs in England. From here, you can overlook the magnificent view of the English Channel and take photos of the Seven Sisters Cliffs and the green grass. But be sure to pay attention to safety when taking photos at the edge of the cliff. · ✅Beachy Head: After passing the white lighthouse, you can see Beachy Head, a classic spot to admire the White Cliffs, with the lighthouse, S-shaped road, and White Cliffs. It's recommended to go in the afternoon when the light is better. But when we got there, the weather suddenly changed, and it started pouring rain a few minutes later. We were taught a harsh lesson by the British weather.

The wind is strong on the cliff, so remember to protect yourself from the wind and sun, and stay away from the edge of the cliff.

Listen to the Goat Skin Band, check in at Eastbourne, UK

Time: 2023/12/9 19:00 Venue: Winter Garden, Eastbourne The sound of youth, Suede's UK tour is underway, coming to Eastbourne, UK, let's check in the beautiful coastal scenery together~ 1. Seven Sisters Country Park Seven Sisters Country Park is adjacent to the English Channel, and its unique name comes from the main landscape here - seven connected white chalk cliffs (White Cliffs). These cliffs stretch for several kilometers, with cliffs about 170 meters high and beaches almost vertical, inspiring immense awe. The pure white cliffs and the green grass on top of each other also form an astonishing landscape. 2. Brighton Beach Like many British seaside cities, Brighton's beach also has the local more leisurely, more vast natural scenery. However, what is different here is that underfoot is not the fine soft sand, but the unique pebbles. 3. Beachy Head Beachy Head is located on the southern coast of Sussex, England, and is the commanding height of the Seven Sisters Cliffs, as well as one of the higher seaside chalk cliffs in the UK. Although the process of climbing the cliffs is somewhat strenuous, when you stand on the edge of the cliff overlooking the majestic coastline and the red and white striped lighthouse, you will feel that it is all worth it.

Nature's Canvas: Seven Sisters Country Park 🌊

Embarked on a coastal odyssey at Seven Sisters Country Park, where the chalk cliffs painted a breathtaking panorama. "Cliffs of Majesty" stood tall, a natural masterpiece shaped by the embrace of the sea breeze. Each step along the Seven Sisters trail unveiled a new chapter of coastal wonders. The meandering river, the rustle of grasslands, and the panoramic views of the English Channel created a symphony of serenity. As the sun dipped low, the cliffs blushed with the hues of twilight, a poetic farewell to a day of nature's wonders. Seven Sisters, a coastal haven where land and sea choreographed a timeless ballet. #NatureEscapade #SevenSistersSerenity

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Seven Sisters in Seaford, and I have to say, it was an absolutely incredible experience. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the sheer beauty of the place. The chalk cliffs rising up out of the sea were truly awe-inspiring, and I couldn't wait to explore them. I started off by hiking along the Seaford Head Nature Reserve, which offered some of the most breathtaking views I've ever seen. The trails were well-maintained and clearly marked, and I felt completely safe and secure even though I was walking along some pretty steep cliffs. Along the way, I saw all sorts of fascinating wildlife, including some rare birds and even a few seals out in the water. As I got closer to the Seven Sisters themselves, I could feel my heart rate picking up with excitement. And I have to say, they did not disappoint. The cliffs were absolutely massive, towering hundreds of feet above the sea, and the views from the top were simply stunning. I took a ton of photos and just sat there for a while, taking it all in. All in all, I would say that Seven Sisters is an absolute must-visit if you're in the Seaford area. The natural beauty of the place is truly something to behold, and I will never forget my time there. I can't recommend it highly enough!#beachlife #nationalpark

Seven Sisters Cliffs

Located at the border of Seaford in United Kingdom, the place is fascinating with beautiful scenery viewing from the top of the Seven Sisters Cliffs.

Then you may see the Seven Sister Cliffs at the bottom. #hiking #cliffs #brighton

This is the most beautiful scenic spot in my heart in England.

Brighton Beach, at the end of England, must be visited on a sunny day. On a sunny day, Brighton is so beautiful that it takes your breath away. The sun illuminates the slightly yellow cliffs, and even the stones are glowing. Recommended route Although its name is Brighton Beachy Head, it is not recommended to depart from Brighton! Suggested route: Take the train from London to Eastbourne → Walk to Eastbourne Pier → Take the sightseeing bus to Beachy Head Station → Red lighthouse → White lighthouse → Birling Gap. , I feel that starting from Eastbourne (walking from east to west), there are more downhill slopes than uphill ones along the way. I remember only climbing one relatively long hill, and the rest are basically downhill. If you take the train to Brighton and then walk from west to east, there will be a lot of uphill slopes, and I personally feel that it will be very tiring. So I still recommend starting from Eastbourne! Sisters with poor physical strength can take a sightseeing bus back to Eastbourne Pier when they reach Birling Gap. This is the best photo angle. If you continue walking forward to Seven Sisters... To reach the cliffs, you have to backtrack and go back to Birling Gap to take the sightseeing car. The road from the red lighthouse to the white lighthouse has a lot of ups and downs, and you can take a picture of the entire cliff and the red lighthouse from a high point. Birling Gap is the best spot to capture the entire Seven Sisters Cliffs and is also the most famous photo spot. 1. It must be a sunny day, the difference between photos taken with and without the sun is too great. 2. The wind is strong and cold, wear more clothes! 3. Bring water and food, need to walk for 2-3 hours, replenish energy on the way. 4. When eating at the beach, be sure to be careful, as seagulls may snatch your food if you're not paying attention.

White cliffs

Seven Sisters white cliffs. Brighton and Eastbound. Good food. Good view. Amazing place for hiking

Hiking destinations: UK edition

When visiting Eastbourne over a weekend-staycation, my attention was drawn to the Seven Sisters Cliffs - an area of outstanding beauty easily reached by bus. And so, in the morning, I hopped on a bus and paid very little with an e-ticket for 24-hour travel access on Stagecoach busses around Brighton, Hove & the Area. As I walked through Seven Sisters Country park, following the signs to the cliffs, my excitement grew by the minute. There were beautiful green scapes with sheep grazing around and a tiny river stream flowing down - a sign of the nearby ocean. After a nice and relaxed walk, I reached Cuckmere Haven where the waters met - it felt like Heaven, basking under the sunshine... And as I continued on, my breath was taken by the sight of the mighty white cliffs. There are moments in life when I feel lucky to experience nature in all its beauty and this was definitely it! I took the difficult route up to the cliff - quite literally climbing up the cliffs without any prior experience and preparation; and although it was one of the scariest times in my life, the view from top was worth it... For irregular hikers, there is an easier and more even route to follow before you get to the Haven 😆 #mytripvlog #tripblazers
