Exploring the Sussex Heritage Coast

May 2019 halfterm - we explored the Sussex Heritage Coast. First we went to Seven Sisters Country Park and walked along part of the South Downs Way to get to Cuckmere Haven. This is the estuary of the River Cuckmere. We also discovered how defences where built to protect the estuary from beach invasion during WW2. After seeing the spectacular chalk cliffs that are the Seven Sisters we headed over to Beachy Head. Here the views from the cliff to where stunning. We also took in the Bomber Command memorial. The words “for many, Beach Head would have been their last sight of England” was particularly poignant. To round off our day out and after a pub tea, we spent the evening/ overnight in a Bell Tent at YHA South Downs. 😃
