The Seven Sisters are a series of white chalk cliffs on the English Channel coast of East Sussex, southeast England, about 22 km east of Brighton and 85 km south of London in a straight line. They are part of the South Downs hills, cut by the sea. The cliffs run between the mouth of the River Cuckmere near Seaford and the chalk headland of Beachy Head near Eastbourne. The dips between the seven crests are the remains of dry valleys in the chalk downs, gradually being eaten away by the sea. Part of the cliffs and nearby countryside form the Seven Sisters Country Park, within the larger South Downs National Park. Brilliant white walls rise in successive waves above a shingle beach and blue-green sea, topped by short green turf. From Seaford Head comes the classic view: a row of old white coastguard cottages in front of the rolling cliffs. Visitors walk the coastal path over the crests between the Country Park and Birling Gap, or go down to the beach at Birling Gap by a metal staircase. The cliff edges erode and sometimes collapse without warning, so keep well back.
