Habitats and Landscape

The Seven Sisters Country Park offers some of the finest coastal downland views in the whole of the UK. It also contains a wide range of habitats with a fantastic array of associated wildlife.

Over the next few pages you will be able to find information about some of these habitats, from the springy turf of chalk downland to the secret underwater world of the beach rock pools.

Come and explore the wonderful natural world of the Seven Sisters, but please always be aware of the fragility of this area.
