The seven sisters are absolutely worth it! Who walks the entire route from Seaford to Eastbourne is about. 20km on the way and can cook more amazed. We started at Birling Gap and boarded the Dippeldecker bus at the Seven Sisters Visitor Center for the return trip. That was a double joy for the younger ones among us.
