Sailors originally named them the\u00a0<em>Sept s\u0153urs<\/em>\u00a0because, when approaching the coast, they could only see seven white cliffs. The eighth cliff was covered by grass all the way down to the beach and blended into the landscape.

Walkers are therefore advised to stay well away from the cliff edges, as they can be unstable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The iconic Seven Sisters cliffs have also appeared in several films and TV productions, including\u00a0Kevin Costner\u2019s\u00a0<em>Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves<\/em>\u00a0(1991).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"background-color:#f2f2f2\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-names-of-the-seven-eight-sisters-cliffs\">Names of the Seven (Eight) Sisters Cliffs:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Went Hill Brow<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Haven Brow<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Sourcils courts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Sourcils rugueux<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Pointe en laiton<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Flagstaff Point<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Flat Hill<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Bailey\u2019s Hill<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Now that you know a little more about the Seven Sisters,\u00a0let\u2019s get to the walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-seaford\">Seaford <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Our walk starts in\u00a0Seaford, a seaside town in\u00a0East Sussex. In medieval times, Seaford was a prosperous port town, benefiting from its access to the English Channel. However, its fortunes declined as the harbour gradually became blocked by silt, while repeated raids and invasions from the French further weakened the town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">During these more difficult periods, locals were said to make a living by scavenging goods from shipwrecks along the coast. According to local folklore, some residents even placed\u00a0fake lights on the cliffs\u00a0to lure ships off course so they would run aground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Seaford.jpg?resize=1024%2C536&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Seven Sisters Walk - Seaford town view from the top of Seadford Head\" class=\"wp-image-4776\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Seaford.jpg?resize=1024%2C536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Seaford.jpg?resize=300%2C157&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Seaford.jpg?resize=768%2C402&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Seaford.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">The town experienced a revival in the nineteenth century with the arrival of the railway, which transformed Seaford into a popular seaside resort. Today, it is largely a commuter town, with many residents travelling to nearby Brighton and Eastbourne for work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-seaford-beach\">Plage de Seaford<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">As you leave the train station, turn right onto\u00a0Church Street. Within moments, you\u2019ll pass\u00a0St Leonard\u2019s Church, whose origins date back to the\u00a012th century, with its tower added in the\u00a015th century. The street opens up and you find yourself on the\u00a0Esplanade, right in front of the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Walk across the Esplanade and onto the beach. The water immediately catches the eye with its\u00a0striking turquoise colour, sometimes looking more like the Caribbean than the English Channel. This unique shade comes from the\u00a0chalk cliffs, whose particles reflect light through the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-style-columns wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-columns\"><div class=\"\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:60.04218%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Seaford-Beach-2.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=500&#038;ssl=1 500w\" alt=\"Seven Sisters Walk - Seaford Beach with the town in the background\" data-height=\"800\" data-id=\"4779\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/seven-sisters-walk\/seven-sisters-walk-seaford-beach-2\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Seaford-Beach-2.jpg\" data-width=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Seaford-Beach-2.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Seaford-Beach-1-1024x536.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Seaford-Beach-1-1024x536.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=900&#038;ssl=1 900w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Seaford-Beach-1-1024x536.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1200&#038;ssl=1 1200w\" alt=\"Seaford Beach with turquoise water\" data-height=\"628\" data-id=\"4780\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/seven-sisters-walk\/seven-sisters-walk-seaford-beach-1\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Seaford-Beach-1-1024x536.jpg\" data-width=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Seaford-Beach-1-1024x536.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:39.95782%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-St-Leonards-Church.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=500&#038;ssl=1 500w\" alt=\"Seven Sisters Walk - St Leonard's Church Tower by the street\" data-height=\"800\" data-id=\"4768\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/seven-sisters-walk\/seven-sisters-walk-st-leonards-church\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-St-Leonards-Church.jpg\" data-width=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-St-Leonards-Church.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Seaford-Beach-3.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=500&#038;ssl=1 500w\" alt=\"Seven Sisters Walk - Seaford Beach with Seaford Head in the background\" data-height=\"800\" data-id=\"4778\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/seven-sisters-walk\/seven-sisters-walk-seaford-beach-3\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Seaford-Beach-3.jpg\" data-width=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Seaford-Beach-3.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Follow the beach until you reach the\u00a0Martello Tower.

And since the Seven Sisters are actually\u00a0eight cliffs, this bonus cliff brings the total to\u00a0nine. Who said maths wasn\u2019t useful on a hike?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Seaford-Head.jpg?resize=1024%2C536&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Seven Sisters Walk - Seaford Head climb view from the beach at the bottom\" class=\"wp-image-4777\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Seaford-Head.jpg?resize=1024%2C536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Seaford-Head.jpg?resize=300%2C157&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Seaford-Head.jpg?resize=768%2C402&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Seaford-Head.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cuckmere-haven\">Cuckmere Haven<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">On the other side of\u00a0Seaford Head, the view finally opens up to reveal the\u00a0Seven Sisters cliffs, rising in a dramatic line along the coastline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Follow the path down the hill until you reach\u00a0Cuckmere Haven Beach.

And don\u2019t forget to turn around from time to time \u2014 behind you, the rolling farmland of the South Downs stretches into the distance, with the town of Seaford visible along the coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-style-rectangular wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:19.83689%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Baileys-Hill-2.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=500&#038;ssl=1 500w\" alt=\"Seven Sisters Walk -View from Bailey's Hill 2\" data-height=\"800\" data-id=\"4808\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/?attachment_id=4808\" data-url=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Baileys-Hill-2.jpg\" data-width=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Baileys-Hill-2.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:60.32622%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Baileys-Hill-1024x536.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Baileys-Hill-1024x536.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=900&#038;ssl=1 900w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Baileys-Hill-1024x536.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1200&#038;ssl=1 1200w\" alt=\"Seven Sisters Walk -

From here you get beautiful views of the surrounding cliffs, and a staircase leads down to the beach where, at low tide, you can try your luck hunting for fossils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Birling-Gap.jpg?resize=1024%2C536&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Seven Sisters Walk - Birling Gap National Trus Cafe and the Coast Guard house view form Beachy Head\" class=\"wp-image-4800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Birling-Gap.jpg?resize=1024%2C536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Birling-Gap.jpg?resize=300%2C157&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Birling-Gap.jpg?resize=768%2C402&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Birling-Gap.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">If you\u2019ve been counting, you\u2019ve now walked across the eight cliffs that make up the Seven Sisters.

The need for a lighthouse had long been recognised, but it was only after the ship Thames ran aground on the rocks that the project finally moved forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">The first lighthouse, built of wood, became operational in October 1828. It was replaced in 1834 by a more durable granite structure. However, due to frequent fog and its position on the cliffs, the lighthouse proved less effective than hoped and was eventually decommissioned in 1902. Since then, it has passed through several private owners over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-style-rectangular wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:50.00000%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Belle-Tout-1.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=500&#038;ssl=1 500w\" alt=\"Seven Sisters Walk - Belle Tout Lighthouse view from the bottom\" data-height=\"800\" data-id=\"4802\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/?attachment_id=4802\" data-url=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Belle-Tout-1.jpg\" data-width=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Belle-Tout-1.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:50.00000%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Belle-Tout-2.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=500&#038;ssl=1 500w\" alt=\"Seven Sisters Walk - Belle Tout Lighthouse view from the fill\" data-height=\"800\" data-id=\"4801\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/?attachment_id=4801\" data-url=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Belle-Tout-2.jpg\" data-width=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Belle-Tout-2.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Belle Tout is often referred to as \u201c<em>Britain\u2019s most famous inhabited lighthouse<\/em>\u201d and has appeared in numerous films and television productions, including the James Bond film The Living Daylights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Because Belle Tout did not prove as effective as hoped, a second lighthouse was built closer to the sea. <em>Phare de Beachy Head <\/em>was constructed in 1902 at the base of the cliffs, about 165 metres offshore. It was initially staffed by lighthouse keepers before becoming fully automated in 1983. Today, it is easily recognisable thanks to its distinctive red and white stripes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Beachy-Head-Lighthouse.jpg?resize=1024%2C536&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Seven Sisters Walk - Beachy Head Lighthouse at the bottom of the cliff in the sea\" class=\"wp-image-4804\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Beachy-Head-Lighthouse.jpg?resize=1024%2C536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Beachy-Head-Lighthouse.jpg?resize=300%2C157&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Beachy-Head-Lighthouse.jpg?resize=768%2C402&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Seven-Sisters-Walk-Beachy-Head-Lighthouse.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beachy-head\">Beachy Head<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Continue along Beachy Head Hill and, before long, the coastal town of Eastbourne comes into view in the distance.
