The classic view of the Seven Sisters chalk cliffs starts here, where the Cuckmere river meanders down to the sea. A level trail runs about 2km to the shingle beach at Cuckmere Haven, so it works for pushchairs and less confident walkers too.
Highlights
- Cuckmere Haven and the river meanders
- Views of the Seven Sisters cliffs
- Easy Access Trail to the beach
- Saltmarsh Café
Good to know
- There are no toilets at the beach or on the cliffs
- Keep dogs under close control and on leads where signs ask, especially March to September and near livestock
