The Seven Sisters, East Sussex

Following the South Downs Way at the Seven Sisters Country Park.

The Seven Sisters are a series of chalk sea cliffs on the English Channel coast, and are a stretch of the sea-eroded section of the South Downs range of hills. 

The Seven Sisters cliffs run between the mouth of the River Cuckmere near Seaford, and the chalk headland of Beachy Head outside of Eastbourne. Each of the Seven Sisters cliffs are distinguished by dips in-between them, which are the remnants of dry valleys in the chalk South Downs which are being gradually eroded by the sea.

The Seven Sisters are seen in the background of the Quidditch World Cup in 2005 film Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
