Devil's Dyke is a 100-metre (330 ft) deep V-shaped dry valley . We stop here and go walking around the top of Devils Dyke and talk about the history Devil's Dyke when it was a huge attraction for the Victorians in mid 1800s. How was it formed? The Devil's Dyke V-shaped dry valley is the result of solifluction and river erosion. More than 14,000 years ago[unreliable source?], the area experienced an intensely cold climate (but not glacial conditions). Snowfields capped the South Downs. Permafrost conditions meant that the chalk was permanently frozen. In summer, the snowfields melted and saturated the top layer of soil, because the water could not permeate the frozen chalk underneath. Waterlogged material situated above the permafrost slid down the gradient, removing material by friction, exposing deeper layers of frozen chalk. When the Ice Age ended, the snowfields covering the South Downs melted, and rivers formed across Sussex. The Devil's Dyke valley was completed by one such river

Seaford Beach in East Sussex has a long history of coastal challenges, particularly due to the natural movement of shingle along the shoreline. This constant shifting has necessitated ongoing human intervention to maintain the beach's integrity and protect the town from erosion and flooding. In modern times, heavy machinery such as bulldozers and dumper trucks have been employed to manage the beach's shingle. These vehicles are used to redistribute the pebbles, especially around structures like the Terminal Groyne, to counteract the effects of longshore drift and ensure the beach remains a viable sea defense

Seven Sisters best view point is a short 10 mins walk away from where we park. The walk is completely optional. View the scenic Seven Sisters Cliffs from Seaford Head Nature park - It stands on one side of one of the last remaining undeveloped river mouths on the South Coast, Cuckmere Estuary. It is home to many nationally rare and significant species of plant, birds and insect, providing visitors with a great conservation experience, together with peaceful walks with the world-renowned view of the Coastguard Cottages, Seven Sisters Cliffs and the Cuckmere River Valley. Cable House 14 Hidden alongside the newly named route, ' The King Charles III England Coastal Path', is Cable House 14. This intriguing hut is the birthplace of a network of undersea cable stations that connect the world. Built in 1900 as a relay station to carry telegraph messages under the sea to France, the hut was converted to a gun emplacement in WWII to fend off a landing invasion at Cuckmere Haven.

We drive the the coast road down to Birling gap. I recommend that you walk from the lighthouse down along the cliffs to Birling Gap (20mins) this is optional if you feel like it. The Belle Tout Lighthouse came into operation on the 11th October 1834 and was manned around the clock by two lighthouse keepers. The location of the lighthouse was carefully planned so that the light was visible for 20 miles out to sea and that the light would be obscured by the edge of the cliff if sailors were too close to the shore. However being on top of the cliffs was prone to be in the cloud, so ceased in 1900 and Beachy Head lighthouse took over.

نبذة عن الرجل الطويل من ويلمنجتون يقف الرجل الطويل من ويلمنجتون - أو عملاق ويلمنجتون كما يُعرف أحيانًا - على المنحدرات الشديدة لتل ويندوفر فوق قرية ويلمنجتون. لقد حيرت أصول ومعنى هذا التمثال علماء الآثار والمؤرخين منذ فترة طويلة لمئات السنين. هل يمثل التمثال رمزًا للخصوبة أم محاربًا قديمًا أم حماقة من القرن الثامن عشر؟ قد لا نعرف ذلك على وجه اليقين أبدًا. من الصعب تحديد تاريخ هذا العملاق هناك عدد من النظريات حول تاريخ التمثال. يعتقد البعض أنه يعود إلى عصور ما قبل التاريخ. وتؤدي العملات الرومانية التي تحمل تمثالًا مشابهًا إلى اعتقاد آخرين بأنه يعود إلى القرنين الرابع أو الخامس. تم اقتراح أصل أنجلو ساكسوني أيضًا، حيث توجد أوجه تشابه مع تمثال يرتدي خوذة وُجد على زخارف من تلك الفترة. أو ربما يكون الرجل الطويل من عمل راهب فني من دير ويلمنجتون القريب في وقت ما بين القرنين الحادي عشر والخامس عشر.

Founded in the 1360s, St Andrew’s is a fine example of a 14th century parish church, located close to the winding Cuckmere River, and beside the Old Clergy House (the first National Trust property). Built with all the loving care of the craftsmen of that age, it is unlike many other churches, because it was built all at one time with no major later additions. Its size and soaring arches (together with few memorials in the interior, creating a spacious and open feel), make it stand out from many local churches, and it has become known as the “Cathedral of the South Downs”. Six bells are placed below the spire, and for this reason the church is one of less than twenty in the country where bell ringers regularly (and dramatically) ring from the centre of the church.
