About
Birling Gap is a popular coastal hub, where the South Downs meet the sea. It’s part of the world-famous Seven Sisters chalk cliffs, one of the longest stretches of undeveloped coastline on the south coast. From walking on 500 acres of ancient downland to spotting wildlife and exploring rock pools below towering cliffs of chalk, there is plenty to see and do whilst you soak up the spectacular, unspoilt views of the sea.
Exploring the beach
After high tide, the sea leaves behinds traces of the plants and creatures that call it home, such as cuttlefish bones, shells and seaweed. Keep an eye out for unusual-looking pebbles among the flints for fossils of ancient sea creatures or plants.
Walking on the South Downs
Whether walking the dog, walking off lunch or walking the 100 miles of the South Downs Way, whatever your reasons for stepping out on the South Downs from Birling Gap, there’s a route for you to enjoy. Pull on your walking boots and take to the paths, keeping an eye out for the animals grazing around you.
