On Saturday our walk is a based around the classic Seven Sisters and South Down Path and Coastal Walks.  From our accommodation, it is a 15 minute drive to where the walk starts.  Our circular hike will start and finish in the beautiful village of Alfriston which is just outside Seaford   Our route will initially take us through the Cuckmere Valley before heading south to connect onto the South Down Way – we will then reach the coast near Birling Gap and head west along the spectacular Seven Sisters.  We then return back to Alfriston via Cuckmere Haven and Exceat.  The 15 mile (24km) route will see us mix the beautiful coastal walk with the stunning countryside in the South Down National Park.  On Saturday evening we can either eat out as a group at a local pub, or self-cater at the accommodation.
