About
The Seven Sisters are a series of seven chalk sea cliffs on the East Sussex coast, between Cuckmere Haven and Birling Gap. Part of the South Downs National Park; the Sisters and Beachy Head together form some of the most photographed stretches of English coastline. The cliffs are eroding at about 30–40 cm per year — a measurable national landscape-loss benchmark.
