Walking
The Seven Sisters Country Park offers a range of excellent opportunities for walkers to enjoy this beautiful landscape. There are a number of footpaths and trails on the Park - further information and trail maps can be found in the Visitor Centre.
The Country Park is great for families
The South Downs Way National Trail, which stretches for 100 miles from Eastbourne to Winchester, passes through the Country Park and can be followed over the Seven Sisters cliffs, offering spectacular views of Cuckmere Haven, Belle Tout and Beachy Head.
Visitors are welcome to explore all of the Country Park on foot. Well behaved dogs are also welcome - please take note of any signs regarding control of dogs. Although the Park is situated in the busy South East, it is possible to 'get away' from the usual hustle and bustle by using some of the less well-used trails. On these trails visitors may be lucky enough to spot some of the fantastic wildlife found here on the Park. See the graceful flight of a skylark as it spirals upwards singing its sweet and liquid song. Or watch as blue butterflies flutter across the thyme-scented turf.
South Downs Way
There are two signed walking trails at the Park:
The Park Trail is marked with purple arrowed numbered posts and is 5km (3miles) long. You can shorten the walk at any time by dropping to the valley floor and returning along the concrete track to the Park entrance.
The Habitat Trail is marked by green arrowed posts and is a 7km (5 miles) circular trail around the perimeter of the Park.
Both trails begin at the gate opposite the Visitor Centre. After wet weather the path can get muddy and you are advised to wear stout footwear. Please be aware that mobile phones may not work in the area.
To purchase a map showing these routes please come to the Visitor Centre.
The concrete track offers safe and easy access down to the beach - why not try a circular walk returning over the hills or along the riverbank? The Country Park offers walkers of all levels and abilities the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful coastal downland scenery and landscape.
