Brighton & Seven Sisters tour from London

The Seven Sisters are a series of striking chalk cliffs located on the Sussex coast in South Downs National Park, between the towns of Seaford and Eastbourne. Formed by centuries of coastal erosion, these bright white cliffs are named after their seven distinct hilltops. They are considered one of the most iconic and unspoiled coastal landscapes in England, offering breathtaking views of the English Channel and scenic walking trails. Popular with hikers, photographers, and nature lovers, the Seven Sisters are a highlight of any day trip to the South Coast from London.

Both are famous chalk cliffs, but the Seven Sisters are part of the South Downs, while the White Cliffs of Dover are further east in Kent. The Seven Sisters are often considered more pristine and less built-up, offering natural walking trails, sea views, and dramatic cliff-top scenery. If you would like to visit the White Cliffs of Dover then look no further than our Canterbury & Dover Cliffs Tour from London day trip.

Yes, it's definitely worth a visit. Brighton is one of England’s most popular seaside cities, known for its vibrant culture, historic pier, quirky shops, and beachfront. It makes a perfect stop on a day tour to the south coast and contrasts beautifully with the natural landscapes of the Seven Sisters.

The South Downs National Park features rolling hills, farmland, woodland, and a dramatic stretch of coastline. On this tour, highlights include the Seven Sisters Cliffs, Birling Gap, and scenic walks along the South Downs Way.

Birling Gap is a coastal hamlet set beneath the Seven Sisters Cliffs. It offers direct beach access, dramatic views of the chalk coastline, and a chance to see erosion in action. It’s managed by the National Trust and is a key stop on the tour.

Yes, there are well-marked footpaths along the Seven Sisters Cliffs offering some of the most breathtaking coastal views in England. On this tour, you’ll have time for a short cliff-top walk, ideal for photography and fresh sea air.

The Royal Pavilion is one of Brighton’s most iconic landmarks. Built in the early 19th century as a seaside retreat for King George IV, this exotic palace is famous for its striking Indo-Saracenic architecture and lavish interior decor. With its domes, minarets and opulent rooms, the Pavilion reflects the king’s fascination with Asian design and is unlike any other royal residence in the UK. A visit to Brighton wouldn’t be complete without seeing this extraordinary building that captures the eccentric spirit of the Regency era.

South Downs National Park is located in the south of England, stretching across the counties of Hampshire, West Sussex and East Sussex. It covers over 600 square miles of rolling hills, chalk cliffs and picturesque countryside. On our Brighton & Seven Sisters tour, we travel through the eastern edge of the park to reach the iconic Seven Sisters white cliffs which is one of the most scenic parts of the South Downs and a highlight of any visit to southern England.

It is possible to reach the Seven Sisters cliffs by public transport, though it often requires multiple connections. Travellers from London typically take a train to Brighton, Eastbourne or Seaford, followed by a local bus or taxi to the coast. However, the remote nature of the cliffs and lack of direct transport links can make the journey time-consuming and confusing. That’s why many visitors choose a guided tour from London. This option offers a stress-free, scenic experience with expert commentary and easy access to the most beautiful viewpoints.
