About

Seven Sisters Country Park is a unique place. It comprises 280 hectares of chalk cliffs, meandering river valley and open chalk grassland.

It’s home to grazing livestock, rare flora and fauna and is a corridor for a large number of migrating birds. 

The meanders of the Cuckmere river flow through the Park and visitors can follow the adjacent footpath from the Visitor Centre to the coast.

Situated at Exceat, near Seaford, East Sussex, the Park is well served by buses from Brighton, Seaford and Eastbourne, making it ideal for a car-free day out.

The Visitor Centre is situated in an 18th century barn, and provides useful information on the Park with displays and exhibitions. There is also a shop with leaflets, maps and souvenirs on sale.

A wide range of outdoor activities include: walking, bird watching, cycling and canoeing. For walkers there are a number of footpaths and trails in the Park. Responsible cyclists are welcome and whilst there are no bridleways on the Park, cycling is permitted on the valley floor.
