New hike – 8.5mile Seven Sisters and Friston Forest Circular

Glorious scenes along the cliffs for the first part as we follow seven sisters and the history – sites of invasion during the war.

Along estuary, spotting donkeys and lambs and into the peaceful forest where we can see wild flowers and lush trees.

As we curve back towards the coast, we pass a very cute village (where Sherlock Holmes retired!) before ending at the cafe once more at Birling Gap.

Optional swim afterwards (not part of the hike) – come prepared!
