Landmark Collection » Seven Sisters

The Seven Sisters on the Sussex Downs were formed by glacier melt water at the end of the last Ice Age. This melt water carved steep sided valleys that have been truncated by sea erosion to form the cliffs we see here today. These seven undulating cliffs are continuously changing as they are constantly beaten by the sea and weather.

The detail in this image is stunning, from the sea weed on the rocks through the chalk line to the sands and onto the cliffs beyond where the layers in the chalk are clearly visible.
