There are two large metal fountain pen markers at the entrance to Parker Drive, interesting to have found out it used to be the Parker Pen Company which closed in 2011. I nice nod to the former factory.

Seaford Head Viewpoint

Highlight • Trail

The Coastguard Cottages on the cliff have been built in the 1920's, shortly after the National Coastguard Service was founded. They were put here because Cuckmere Haven was an important place for smuggling. Since they were built the cliff has retreated more then 30 meters, putting the cottages in danger.

Seaford Beach and Promenade

Highlight • Beach

Seaford is a traditional seaside town with a colourful history. Once a bustling port, the town became synonymous with smuggling and wrecking in the 16th century. In fact, the people of Seaford were known as the ‘shags’ because of their enthusiasm for looting ships wrecked in the bay. These days, the town has a genteel atmosphere, plenty of food and drink spots, a fine beachfront dotted with brightly-coloured beach huts, shops, accommodation and other attractions.
