A popular walking trail less than two hours from London has been described as “spectacular” and “possibly the most popular day hike in the UK.” The Seven Sisters Cliffs Walk , which runs between then trainquil seaside towns of Seaford and Eastbourne allows hikers of all abilities to enjoy a scenic walk with the stunning views of the cliffs visible throughout. The hike, which is around 20km in length is served by one continuous path, which minus a couple of sharp steep inclines, is relatively flat.
As the use of photo sharing apps such as Instagram and TikTok have risen in recent years, the popularity of scenic areas such as Seven Sister Cliffs has risen too, with visitors drawn in by the “ Instagram perfect” views on offer. Those hoping to have the cliffs in view for the entirety of the walk are encouraged to start in Seaford, which has direct trains running to it from Brighton. The walk starts with a steep incline, the steepest of the entire hike, which is manageable for people of average fitness.
Once up, the views are breath-taking, with the summit serving as the first of many ideal locations for a photo or selfie. From there, the landscape is rolling, with flower-laden trails and green grass lining the way into Cuckmere Haven . The idyllic beach is quintessentially British .
Once used as a backdrop in the film Atonement , it can be used as a lunch setting or prominent landmark for those wanting to head back and shorten the route. A steep but shorter climb than.
