Nature & Parks
Parks
Seven Sisters Country Park, located in the South Downs National Park, is renowned for its stunning chalk cliffs, expansive grasslands, and picturesque river valley. This popular park offers opportunities for walking, birdwatching, and cycling. Visitors can explore the world-famous Seven Sisters chalk cliffs along the undeveloped coastline of the south coast. The park provides a mix of bustling areas and quieter spots to enjoy the breathtaking seascapes and changing landscapes.
Amazing day doing a gentle hike to this wonderful site!! Got told about this from my cousin from the US, yet I'm from London and didn't know about this. The wild ponies are a real treat. The pebble beach, the cliffs and reservoirs are beautiful. Wear good footwear the pebbles are intense. Allow 2 to 4 hours to get the most and check the forecast for the tide so you can time it to be safe enough to walk around the cliffs from the beach. Else it will not be safe enough to do this. If you can visit the Littleton Tea House nearby and do a coastal drive to Brighton. Great day out I will never forget

Situated adjacent to the English Channel, the Seven Sisters is a wonderful preservation of natural landscape on background of rich history.
Getting off at Eastbourne station, we hopped on coaster bus 12X that brought us next to the entrance of the country park. The walkway is lovely with naturally carved pathways through field, grass and hills. It took us around 30 mins to reach the beach area beside the cliffs. There is a lovely hiking trail which we climbed to reach the peak of the cliff. The view from the cliff is astounding and something to cherish.
Would advise to come early to spend more time wandering around, climbing the cliffs and enjoy the day. 😍😍
Seven Sisters is absolutely breathtaking one of the most beautiful natural spots I’ve visited in the UK. Getting there was pretty straightforward: I took the overground from Victoria to Eastbourne, then hopped on a bus. Travel cost came to around £45 for one person.
Eastbourne itself has plenty of restaurants, so it’s a good idea to eat there before heading out – there aren’t really any shops or places to grab food once you reach Seven Sisters. But that’s part of the charm; it feels untouched and purely nature’s creation.
The white cliffs and the views are just stunning, well worth the trip. Highly recommend if you want a peaceful escape with incredible scenery!
It’s a MUST go but didn’t get to see much of the white cliffs on the path directly across from the Visitor Center. Great coffee at the visitor center Grab & Go. There’s a beach at the end of the 3/4 mile path. NO SERVICES OF ANY KIND. Recommend to rent a bike. It’s enormous! Saw sheep, ponies, and a variety of birds. Wish they had boat or helicopter tours.
Fantastic place to visit. Great walks down to the sea, woodland walks, visitors centre, cafe and car parks. Perfect for birdwatching along the waterways with waders and an assortment of other birds both native and migrants. Can get very busy though.
Great walking experience. Easy parking, though you need to pay. Be aware of fake QR code sticker's on the payment machine. I use the payment app too be safe.
There's a regular bus service between Eastbourne and Brighton which stops along various points of the seven sisters walk and Nd the the walk to Newhaven. So it's very easy to catch a bus back to your car.
Passed through while doing the South Downs Way.
Beautiful area, stunning views. Definitely visit the salt marsh farmhouse cafe at the start it serves excellent coffee and cake.
Great hike and nature, but start early as it could take longer than expected. If you’re planning to walk from Seaford to Eastbourne, a river before the cliffs means you may need to detour inland to cross the water.

Seven Sisters

(2686)
Cliff
The Seven Sisters is a series of seven stunning white chalk cliffs located in the South Downs National Park along the English Channel. It's a popular destination for walking holidays, offering picturesque views and various walking routes. One of the easiest treks is a two-mile journey from Birling Gap car park to Lookout Hill and Madjack Fuller's folly, providing breathtaking sea views.
It was a bit cold and windy, but the view was beautiful. Blue sea, golden sunshine — everything felt peaceful and relaxing. A perfect place to unwind and enjoy nature.

I loved the place. It was a big challenge for me because I am physically disabled, my heart is not good, the walk was not easy and I even climbed up the cliff. Then my hart hurt 😊 but it was worth it. We ended the day with great memories. The parking is perfect, although the difficulty is that you may have to wait a little for a free space. The buffet has a wide selection for both young and old. It is a bit expensive for us living on a normal salary. But you can handle it once. In the park you can have a picnic or lie in the grass on a huge grassy area. But the braver ones can also row. There are probably many other programs that I didn't even notice due to my limited mobility. Everyone should see what else is available. I recommend it to everyone who wants a real great adventure in an ancient land that is familiar to me 😎
What to write about this wonderful and magical place ..."peace, serenity and majesty." I love this place. ...to understand, you just need to go there!
I did the Seven Sisters walk with work colleagues for a charity event.
The walk was challenging even for us fitter people but the views were spectacular and made all the effort climbing the steep hills worth it.
I would highly recommend doing this walk and experiencing the beautiful scenery, I definitely want to go back and do it again.
Loved it, it was such an overwhelming experience, you feel astounded by the sheer beauty of nature, had wanted to visit the place all along, was definitely worth it, roughly a 50 minute walk from the seven sisters car park and then you are met by this wonderful view:))
Was fantastic day for a walk. We did the whole Seven Sisters cliff and friston forest circular. There a lot of parking space at the cliffside but it is very busy (it is a popular site for tourist).
Absolutely stunning – a must-see if you’re visiting the South Coast. The views are breathtaking, especially on a clear day. Come early and you’ll have the place almost to yourself. Perfect for a scenic walk and unforgettable photos!
The Seven Sisters Cliffs, located along the stunning Sussex coastline in southern England, are a breathtaking series of chalk cliffs that gleam brilliantly white against the deep blue of the English Channel. Carved by centuries of natural erosion, these seven undulating peaks create one of Britain’s most iconic coastal landscapes, offering sweeping panoramic views, tranquil walking trails, and a peaceful escape into nature’s beauty. Whether viewed from the beach below or the clifftop paths above, the Seven Sisters stand as a timeless symbol of England’s wild and unspoiled charm.

The Grumpy Chef, located on Broad Street, is a relaxed cafe known for its seafood dishes, light lunches, and robust wine list. Run by chef and owner Anthony Master, the restaurant offers a personable and delicious experience with warm interiors and an eclectic selection of vegetarian options. Guests can expect fantastic service as Anthony personally walks them through the menu and daily specials. The food is highly praised for its incredible taste, with generous portions at reasonable prices.
Absolute gem just 5 minutes from the Seaford Station!!!
If you’re coming for a Seven Sisters Hike, I absolutely recommend this place - perfect food, beautiful presentation, nice staff.
There is nothing else to say on top of this - everything was perfect.
The Greedy Burger was the best one my dad has ever tried in the UK (believe me, we’ve tried a lot!)
Roasted Seabass was great for a person that is obsessed with seafood - my mom really loved it.
And my open sandwich was just 10/10!!!

Lovely local restaurant with delicious food. The staff are among the most friendly I have come across. Everything was very tasty. The restaurant has a nice homely vibe and is quite popular with locals and tourist alike
We went here twice. First for a coffee which was really good. Nice and hot for a cool day. We went back a few nights later for a dinner. We made a reservation as we have seen it can get a bit busy. We had the Spanish red wine which was something different but highly recommended. It wasn’t as heavy as a Merlot but not as light as a Pinot Noir. We shared three start dishes which was more than enough for two people. The portion sizes are very generous. All the dishes had good flavour and were serves beautifully. The waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area for any additional travel advice. Definitely worth visiting if in the area.
We visited this restaurant after reading glowing reviews, and it still managed to exceed our expectations! It’s a small, cozy place with an incredible atmosphere and absolutely outstanding food. We started with hummus and toasted bread, followed by roasted chicken for my husband and crab linguine for me. To top it off, we shared a bottle of wine—and everything was simply fantastic! The experience was so wonderful that we couldn’t resist taking a slice of cake to go. The total? Just £60—an amazing value for such a memorable meal. It was a special occasion for us, and we truly couldn’t have chosen a better place. Highly recommended!
Lovely staff, great food! the only downside is they need a bigger cafe because they are so popular! gluten free options available 👍
What an absolute gem of a place. Genuinely the nicest staff I've ever dealt with!
Amazing service and food. This is always my stop off point on my cycle route and it has never let me down.
The service was so good that I wrote this review while having my lunch ❤️
Thank you team, you're doing amazing 😍
Stopped to grab a brunch and sat outside on a lovely sunny day. There's only three tables outside on the pavement not everyone's choice, but there plenty of seating inside.
The staff are very happy friendly and helpful (even if the chef is grumpy!) and we're very attentive to our needs.
We had a lovely brunch well cooked and tasty, prices are average and they have a reasonable choice with vegetarian options too.
If you want a coffee snack or a bit more well worth stopping here.
Made us and our dog very welcome. Excellent choice of food. Served hot and fresh. Loved the addition of samphire to my advocado on toast. Nice atmosphere and really enjoyable family breakfast. Definitely recommend 👌

Seaford Head Golf Course
4.6
(871)
Golf club
Seaford Head Golf Course is a picturesque undulating downland/links style course located on the cliffs of Seaford, offering breathtaking views of the iconic Seven Sisters and the South Coast. The course, designed in 1887, is steeped in history and surrounded by a nature reserve with rare species of plants, birds, and insects. The new clubhouse features the View Restaurant and bar with panoramic views.
Love this golf course. Keep going back. Highly recommend however it is rather challenging being on the coast and very hilly. A round will take about 4½ - 5 hours with a 4 ball. They do a very nice breakfast and plenty of choice at the bar after your round.

Been a few times but this one was the better of the 3. it's busy so you need to book a tee time in advance. Beautiful view. Wear sun screen.
One of my favourite courses ive played, so many unique and challenging holes. Greens were in excellent condition. I would suggest older or handicapped golfers get a buggy as it is quite a walk up some of those hills but well worth it. Finally I would like to add that the price was very reasonable and even on a perfect cloudless day on a bank holiday the pace of play was decent too. 10/10
Really challenging course with some amazing views .
£22 for the round was amazing value .
A tough course for mid to high handicappers
Had lunch here today. Slight confusion as to whether ploughman's was on or off the menu, but once sorted, it was very tasty with lots of salad, apple and pickles. Lovely view on the deck - as one might expect given the name! Service was rather slow, but we weren't in a hurry. Luckily it wasn't busy.
Course in excellent condition and very reasonable rates at £26 mid week for over 60s. Views are fabulous.
Great course, some exceptionally scenic holes. Fairways in good condition aswel considering the recent spell of hot weather, greens were in really good condition. Be prepared for some hills though. Also no driving range but has 2 nets.
Great course which was fun and still challenging though very very very hilly. Staff in Pro shop,Cafe and Bar very friendly and efficient. Good quality and well price food and drinks. We will be back

Outdoor Activities
Cuckmere Haven is a serene and pet-friendly riverfront beach surrounded by picturesque grasslands and cliffs. The view from Seaford Head offers a breathtaking panorama of the Coastguard Cottages, Seven Sisters Cliffs, and the meandering Cuckmere River flowing into the sea. Visitors can explore further inland at Seven Sisters Country Park to witness more of the river's journey through the countryside.
Great place to walk to, chairs and tables on balcony on top of the bay, with view of Seven Sisters right there. Teas and cakes for a comfortable break while on the trail of the local nature reserve. Also has gardens with beautiful art and sculptures of various artists available to view and buy. Will visit again. Recommended.

Beautifully scenic pebble beach and river estuary between Seaford and the first sister on the Severn Sisters hike.
Flanked by the pretty Coast Guards Cottages on one side and the mighty Severn Sisters Cliffs on the other - this is a stunning, scenic stop gap if you've started at Seaford.
Be mindful of the tide and times where the Cuckmere River meets the sea. You'll need to cross the river to continue across the beach and start the Severn Sisters.
It's possible to wade across during low tide but at high tide the only way over is by walking in land to the bridge at the Cuckmere Inn pub. This will add on approx 45 mins - 1 hour of walking time.
Its a lovely walk along the estuary on both sides of the river but the path towards the pub is narrow in places and uneven.
As the trek across the cliff tops needs to be completed in daylight, be mindful of any extra time walking to and from the bridge at high tide.
Great place to walk. Great scenic view towards the cliff. There is an alternative route where you can park your car and do less walking or walk all the way to the top of the cliff. Photos taken on mid July 2024.
A beautiful location and a fun spot for swimming. The current is strong enough to carry you along in either direction when the tide is coming in or going out, although either side of high tide had the strongest flow. It’s not too deep (about 6ft) and the floor is all large pebbles, just like the beach.
There are no toilets or cafe though. The closest is a 30min walk back to the Seven Sisters Car Park, which is a great place to park up for the day anyway.
From the Seven Sisters Country Park, a pleasant 30-minute walk will take you to the beach. Once there, you can enjoy stunning views of the Seven Sisters cliffs from below. For an even more breathtaking perspective, hike to the top. Gazing out at the vast sea from above is an incredibly soothing experience that uplifts the spirit."
We drove south from London to Seaford and from there to the parking area for Cuckmere Haven. The entire family enjoyed the panoramic views of the chalk white cliffs, ocean and wild flowers blooming in the sheep pastures on the hike to Cuckmere Haven. A great way to visit and enjoy the UK.
A must see. Highly recommend a hike from Cuckmere Haven to Birling Gap via the Seven Sisters cliffs.
You have to go past some beautiful large detached houses with a golf course opposite to get to the parking area. Beautiful walk down to the Coast Guard Cottages and beach with the white cliffs in the background. It said on a sign that one could be rented but not sure how!
There is also a very old buliding at the bottom one of the first telephone communications across the channel. I was told this by a nice person who is their on a regular basis as a volunteer. Who does a wonder job of collecting rubbish that is washed up on the shoreline at the bottom. There seems to be quiet abit he said mostly from ships.
You can walk on the pebble and rocky beach if the tide is out or along the river canals or up and over the hill on top of the cliffs if you want a steeper and higher veiw.
Free car park at the top which is not masdive so can imagine this getting full in the height of summer. Has a container cafe with Tea and coffee plus minimal snacks and seating outside. Sadly the portaloo toilets were shut to the public as was told that had been vandalised and also needed cleaning out.

Restaurant
The View Restaurant Bar Function Venue has been visited twice, unfortunately both times were for a wake after a funeral. The first visit was for the movie Sisters and it left a lasting impression with its breathtaking vistas, exceptional buffet, and faultless service. The second time around, the same level of care and service was evident as guests enjoyed the stunning views and sunny weather. Although not known for its style, this eatery located on a golf course offers a delightful breakfast experience even during late hours.
Had a lovely lunch at The View in Seaford the other day. The setting really lives up to the name
The staff were friendly and the food was decent with a good mix of options. It’s also great that they welcome dogs, makes it feel really relaxed and inclusive. Definitely one of those places you find yourself coming back to.
Steve C — Google review
A very disappointing Mother’s Day lunch. Service was poor, we had to wait nearly an hour for our pre booked meal, despite the restaurant not being busy. When it finally arrived, the food quality was poor, vegetables were at best warm ( not hot), roast potatoes insufficiently cooked, and the gravy was thin and meagre. One of our party sent their meal back to be reheated in the microwave! The only redeeming feature of the meal was the desserts which were fine, and delivered promptly. We won’t be returning here to eat.
Lovely views of the 18th fairway of this excellent golf course though.
Thank you to everyone especially Candice for making my daughter and son in law’s wedding party so special. The location is perfect for any occasion, I can’t recommend it enough. The food was delicious and the service was great. If you’re looking for somewhere to hire for a party I’d definitely recommend the View.
I honestly don’t know where to start. We had our wedding reception here on Saturday and it was perfect from start to finish. The communication and organisation was on point . Everyone listened to my wishes and made everything I wanted work and was so accommodating. The staff on the day were amazing. We decided on the fork buffet . It was presented really nicely and tasted amazing . They also did a hot buffet for the kids that went down a storm and bacon and halloumi baps in the evening.
Again I can’t thank you all enough for making our day so perfect.
Mr & Mrs Swann
The View Seaford, great food, great service and a great View of the golf course and countryside.
The food was well presented with the portion size just right.
Definitely worth a visit.
The View is a great place for a nice cold drink after a walk up the cliffs and Seven Sisters National Park, you just drop down to the right before you reach Seaford promenade. Also great for a bite to eat in the sunshine.
We visited The View at Seaford Head Golf Club for the Seaford Chamber Charity Golf Day and had a fantastic experience. The food was lovely—piping hot, generous portions, and excellent value. The staff were brilliant too, very attentive and welcoming, which made the day even more enjoyable. A perfect venue for such a great event—I’d definitely recommend it!
The eatery with the golf course. Certainly not the most stylish place but we had a (very) late breakfast there and it was really nice. And, it’s called ‘the view’ for good reasons!
Service with a smile at the bar. If you want water with your espresso you gotta ask for it.

During my recent visit to Seaford, I stumbled upon Evina's Coffee Shop and was pleasantly surprised by the experience. Upon arrival, I was warmly welcomed and guided to their charming garden area since the indoor seating was bustling with patrons. The outdoor space features a cozy patio equipped with heaters, making it an ideal spot even in November. The service was exceptional, and I thoroughly enjoyed a delicious bacon mozzarella and onion toasted panini that hit the spot perfectly.
Quite size of place for food and drinks. Very reasonable prices and good atmosphere. Lovely kind staff who was serving with smile and friendly way. Coffee was better than other chain cafes and cake was delicious & freshly baked.

Stumbled across this lovely cafe!
Staff so friendly and attentive, food was good but toilet was scary, clean but tiny.
Will be back ...definitely recommend the milkshakes
A spot with a lovely ambiance and incredibly accommodating staff.
We enjoyed sitting in their cozy little garden, which was thoughtfully equipped with heaters, making it perfect even for cooler days.
The coffee was beautifully brewed, and the scone with cheese and butter was an absolute delight—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared.
The walnut coffee cake was another highlight, delicious and rich in flavor.
Attention to detail here is outstanding, and it’s wonderful that they are dog-friendly too.
Highly recommend this gem for a relaxing and enjoyable experience
Love this place! Nice vibe, super friendly staff and good quality food ingrediens (apparently food came from local suppliers, which you can tell by taste)
I liked it here. Not for everyone I don't think. If you are a regular at High Street big names then this isn't for you. If however you want outdoor eating , sunshine on your face, the rustle of trees , then this is for you. Home style cooking , a good menu and some delicious cakes with great friendly service then this is the place. Tucked away down the main street it's a little gem .
Lovely vegan breakfast.. lacking vegan cakes but the non vegan ones looked amazing … baklava looked unreal didn’t ask if it was vegan
Lovely friendly staff tasty coffee
Seemed popular lots of tables were booked but a sweet customer offered to move so we could have our buddy by our side x
Would return :)
Don't be put of by small cafe as has tables out the back.. staff always friendly, highly recommend breakfast as all produce is excellent quality and tasty!. Best cafe for miles around!. Flat white was so very nice.
A true hidden Gem.
Excellent food. Friendly & helpful staff.
Very clean. It has a lovely covered seating area out the back which is heated in the winter. Well worth a visit

Pub
The Cuckmere Inn is a contemporary chain establishment situated in a beautiful location, offering a diverse menu and regular meal promotions. The venue provides a warm and inviting atmosphere for patrons to relax and recharge, with friendly staff ensuring an enjoyable dining experience. The restaurant also boasts stunning views that are truly one-of-a-kind. Families and even pets are welcome, allowing for memorable moments together.
I had such a lovely evening at the Cuckmere Inn with my dad, and it’s one of those nights I’ll remember for a long time. From the moment we arrived, the service was fantastic – the team were so welcoming, attentive, and genuinely friendly, which set the tone for the whole night. Nothing ever felt rushed, and we were really able to relax and enjoy ourselves.
The setting is just beautiful. The cozy, warm vibe inside the inn made it feel inviting and comfortable, while the views outside were absolutely stunning – the kind that make you pause and just take it all in. It’s the perfect mix of homely and picturesque, and it created such a calm, peaceful atmosphere for our evening together.
For dinner, I went for the chicken parmigiano, and it was absolutely delicious. Perfectly cooked, tender, and packed with flavour – it was comforting yet still felt special, and paired perfectly with the relaxed setting. My dad and I both commented on how good the food was, and it really elevated the whole evening.
What made it even more memorable was how everything came together – the attentive service, the cozy ambiance, the beautiful views, and the delicious meal. It felt like the perfect place to slow down, share good conversation, and just enjoy each other’s company.
Spending the night at the Cuckmere Inn with my dad was truly special, and it’s somewhere I’ll definitely return to. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place that combines great food, wonderful service, and an atmosphere that makes you feel instantly at ease.

The triple cooked chips were the best I’ve tasted in England. I’m from Canada and it would appear that all chips (fries in Canada) are crispy and have some colour.
We ordered the wrap with sweet potato fritter and the fish sandwich. Both were delicious. Prices are reasonable and comparable to other similar establishments.
The place has plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating.
The beer selection is fine.
Some of the staff are friendly and helpful, others not so much.
In the end we really liked the place and it’s conveniently located at the end of a short walk from the 7 sisters.
We went there today for lunch and the place looks nice inside and has a large outdoor seating area with a beautiful view. The place looked clean. The staff seemed kind of detached and the only lady who brought out our food (in her 50s) seemed more friendly. I asked to swap onion rings and chips for halloumi fries and the answer was NO, I wouldn't mind to pay some extra as both were the same price. The Signature burger was delicious so where the potato wedges however my friend's stake sandwich was very dry and I would not recommend. Also it took a while for food to arrive and it was hardly warm.
First time here and we had a lovely experience. Food was amazing big portions. parking is free but must register inside the pub. Toilet was clean and smell good. Lots of costumer.
We arrived here around 3pm on a Wednesday, there were not very many customers and perhaps only a quarter of the outside tables were occupied. Sadly the majority of the unoccupied tables were full of old plates, glasses and food. Most of these tables were left uncleared for the whole time we were there (approx. 1hr). We cleared our own table then proceeded to order 2 drinks and 1 small dish via the QR code provided with the table. Over 40 MINUTES later and we hadn’t even received our drinks (???). My friend went inside to the bar and had to ask them to begin making them, then take them out himself to our table and return for the food. Shockingly poor standards of service so far. When my friend came back, this was the ‘Calamari with Saffron Aioli’ we paid £7.95 for (image attached) that he brought back with him. Yes, this is really everything you get for nearly £8! Worst of all they were cold, stale - even the lemon used as a garnish was dry, discoloured and absolutely could not have been fresh. Sauce slopped into a ramekin. Honestly the worst food I have ever received as a customer at any pub or restaurant. I have worked in hospitality for nearly a decade, eat out frequently and am as kind and charitable as I can be. I have never written a negative review before but I felt I simply had to write this review as the food and service was appealing at the Cuckmere Inn.
Had lunch at the Cuckmere Inn paid £18.25 for haddock and chips thought I'd be safe eating out with fish and chips but batter was brittle and the fish dry
Had to look for my chips about 5 ?
Not imoressed no one bothered to ask if we were happy with the food.
The pub was not busy but plates took a long time to be cleared.
Disappointing to say the least. Having just completed a big walk from Birling Gap to Cuckmere and had prebooked a table for a late lunch as a treat. The place looked busy, the menu looked superb with lots of choice.
We got seated by a friendly staff member, who seemed rushed off his feet, and it then took half an hour for the friendly waitress to come to take our order. We were starved btw.
She brought the drinks pretty promptly.
It then took over an hour to be served.
I ordered a salad £14.95 and mac cheese £4.25. The mac cheese was literally 3 tiny mouthfuls. Not worth the price. The salad arrived with no dressing, although it should have been tossed in a zesty pineapple and ginger dressing. It looked like half a bag of rocket with thimble full of ingredients added.
A friend ordered the chicken bacon avocado salad. It came out luke warm, the chicken was tough and the ciabatta looked like it was from a frozen packet.
Another friend ordered skewers from the menu, lamb and halloumi, some of the meat was still pink and the halloumi was chewy and looked barely cooked.
We did complain and the waitress took the drinks off the bill. Tbf we should have paid for the drinks and had the food taken off the bill.
We won't be coming back unless its just for a drink.
To also reiterate what others have said, after the rush, lots of empty tables but not cleared, full of used glasses, bottles etc. No one regularly checking the toilets. No toilet roll or hand wash until we pointed this out hours after arriving.
Called in at the former Golden Galleon after walking the 7 sisters (there are 8 😡).
Nice menu well cooked though service was a bit miserable. Dog friendly and there is even a regular bus service back to the Birling Gap. Location is the main feature here.
