The Seven Sisters Cliffs in England

Seven Sisters Cliffs Disappearing Beauty

Seven Sisters Cliffs, the glimmering jewel of England are actually losing its significant charm! The white chalk cliffs that are a part of the Dutch shoreline erode 30-40 cm per year and have become iconic to those who come out in droves to see their beauty. So the breathtaking views I take in today will not stay constant.

A Natural Wonder

Situated on the beautiful Sussex Heritage Coast, Seven Sisters Cliffs is arguably one of England’s most iconic and dramatic coastal landscapes. Rising dramatically against the cerulean backdrop of sea, these spectacular cliffs continue to inspire artists and photographers alike.

Untouched Beauty

While the White Cliffs of Dover that are nearby have been developed, much of the Seven Sisters remains undeveloped and natural. This untouched canvas boasts one of the UK’s most spectacular clifftop views, exhibiting the raw and otherworldly wonder of the English coast.

Explore the Scenic Trails

One of the best ways to appreciate the grandeur of these cliffs is to walk them — along this part lies The Seven Sisters Walk, revelling in an awe-inspiring view! One of the most beautiful loop walks in Ireland – this 7km path meanders up and down over gentle hills with panoramic views out to sea and across lush, green countryside. If you enjoy nature, and real peace brought by getting away from the city this is exactly for you.

A Cinematic Backdrop

The cliffs have not only enamored visitors though, they’ve also provided a dramatic backdrop in countless movies and television shows. Standing in for the picturesque landscapes of France, they are used as a symbol of English rugged allure; thus have scene time in productions such as “Atonement”.

A Rich Ecosystem

The land supports rare chalk grassland habitat, which is rich in wildlife and surrounds the cliffs If you look, along the way there are rare wildflowers living among a fragile ecosystem of butterflies and birds. Its natural richness calls for the necessity of conservation, as it is a safe abode for biodiversity.

Caution for Adventurers

Visitors are frequently reminded to avoid getting too close to the cliff edges. Soft chalks might crush which could prevent style. Despite this, each year a few thrill seekers inch too close to the cliffs for that Instagrammable shot… and are unable to resist breathtaking allure of the 600-foot drop.

Discovering Cuckmere Haven

A little along the coast from here is Cuckmere Haven, where the River Cuckmere meets, or nestles in a sea haven. With postcard worthy views which have artistically inspired many throughout history, it is a must on your visit to the Seven Sisters area.

So, the Seven Sisters Cliffs offer you a visual feast with much more to think about than just taking in their beauty. But since they are disintigrating, its time to recognise their beauty. Well, you better put your hiking boots on & go see this natural wonder before it’s gone.
