Iconic Seven Sisters Coastal Walk - 23km Challenging with Epic Views

Swap the city for sea breeze on this iconic 23km cliffside adventure along the Sussex Heritage Coast. Starting in the quiet town of Seaford, we’ll hike the full stretch of the Seven Sisters, tackling rolling hills, dramatic chalk cliffs, and photogenic coastal views. Expect good vibes, salty air, and legs that know they’ve done something. Not for the faint hearted, this hike is a route you must do at least once in your lifetime!
