Seven Sisters Country Park
Latest Reviews
If you want to avoid the busyness of Brighton or even of Eastbourne then park here all day for £5 and take the kids down to a rather pebbly beach but with some sand and rockpools. It's a very dramatic and scenic location with the white cliffs behind you and easy paddling for the kids just 100 yards away . The best bit for me was avoiding the crowded beaches at Brighton and Eastbourne. This is very imposing an impressive location with the rest of the South Downs easily accessible.

The sea is trying to erode the chalk cliffs here. It is interesting to see. You can go down a steep metal staircase onto the beach. The National Trust have a cafe and shop

Lovely unspoilt beach accessed from the cliff top by a sturdy 3 story/level high wooden slatted stair case. The beach itself is mostly pebble with some sandy areas that you can access the sea to swim. Little interest if beach combing (no sea shells or sea glass) but plenty of rock pools to view. Car parking is available at a cost of £5 for 4 hours and if you can get a spot there is free parking along the road going towards the beach access. There are clean public toilets that open at 08:30, a small National Trust gift shop and reasonably priced cafe with some outside seating. Lovely hikes up the cliff with spectacular views, a lighthouse and nesting gulls.

The views from here are amazing. The walking is easy. It’s even great in the light rain that I had when there. A wonderful spot.

We visited on a super windy and rainy day. It was also high tide, which means the water was coming onto the stairs. We went on to do other things in the area and came back when it was dry, only partly cloudy, around sunset. Very beautiful!!
Be careful with little kids when it’s windy as they easily get swept away on the cliffs to the lookout.
Also, phone signal is weak or non-existing there.

Drove here and parked in the pay to park car park. Try and take coins as wi-fi/phone signal not the best for paying online we found.
Weather was varying from drizzling to full on torrential so we walked up to the viewing area adjoining the car park and looked at the amazing views, took some photos and headed back to the car.
If we are in the area again I’d love to walk up the coastal path but the wind was so strong you were almost horizontal with the ground heading into it! Beautiful area and views, but perhaps more pleasant when the magnificent forces of nature weren’t battering you!

Excepnsive small car park, but the views are out of this world. Go at dusk, see the birds flying to roost, watch the sunset over the sea and cliffs. Car park mis free at dusk, but the toiletrs and cafe are closed. Walk down the staircase on to the beach and smell the sea its great.

Try to pick a dry day to go , as you literally can walk for miles , the walk to beachy head is fairly untaxing from here with lovely views. Free parking just along the road outside the main car park at Birling Gap . The issue i have with the car park is the pay and display means you need to commit to how long you want to walk for before you set off , and on a good day we can be gone hours and dont want to be restricted to returning at a certain time. ( Also my walk back is always slower!)

Wonderful scenic views and well worth a visit.
Please note that as it is out of season, the buses do not run there.
You will need to walk from East Dean, it is a lengthy but pleasant walk.

National Trust site. Free to enter but parking is expensive. £5 one off payment. Great if you are around all day, expensive if not.
Issue with parking - cash or app payments. In a pandemic not many people carry cash and you have to download a National Trust app to pay and there is no phone signal in the area.
Lots of people park for free on the verges, and they do offer free WiFi in the shop. But a contactless payment option on the parking machine would be easier for all.
Great landscapes and plenty of good walks.
Toilets were clean and everyone was socially distancing on a busy Sunday.
Didn’t see any National Trust volunteers around.

Great views. We covered this on part of our walk which we thoroughly enjoyed. Plenty of open space for dogs to run.

We drove to the Birling Gap from Eastbourne although if you have a few hours it makes a great walk. The views are impressive and well worth the visit, we were there in an extremely windy October day and the car park was full. I agree with an earlier reviewer the NT facilities leave a lot to be desired!

Great hiking spot, my husband and I stayed in Eastbourne and travelled to seaford to get in the full hike and gorgeous viewed. All in all it took us 3.5 hrs to get back to Eastbourne by foot and we hope to do it again!

Stunning! We drove to Birling Gap and Seven Sisters, cafe and WC are available here. There is also free parking on the verges, although you have to pay in the car park. Gorgeous views, this is a must if you are in the area.

Can be busy at peak times, but it is back to nature here. Some limited cafe services. WC available. Great beach and views, and extensive walking over Seven Sisters or to Beach Head.

Birling Gap is where the cliffs are low but you still have to climb down steps to access the shingle beach. There are robust walks over the downs which are beautiful in summer but cold and windy in the winter. In the evening, on a clear day, there are fantastic sunsets for the cliff edge.
