The Seven Sisters, Sussex, England

Postcard

The Seven Sisters are a series of chalk cliffs by the English Channel. They form part of the South Downs in East Sussex, between the towns of Seaford and Eastbourne in southern England.

They are the remnants of dry valleys in the chalk South Downs, which are gradually being eroded by the sea. There are, in fact, eight distinct peaks! There were originally seven, but cliff erosion has led to an eighth sister appearing which has been named Flagstaff Brow.
