The Seven Sisters cliffs seen from Seaford Head. This is a similar view to that seen in the film 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. It appears near the beginning of the film when Harry Potter and friends land after using an old boot as a 'Port Key'. As they land on the grass you can see this view behind them.

The Seven Sisters cliffs look really impressive close up. This is part of Haven Brow the most westerly of the Seven Sisters

Notice the recent rock fall at the foot of the cliffs just to the left of centre.

If you look carefully at the cliff face, especially in the larger view, you may notice some black spots - some of them forming rows. These are flints embedded in the chalk.

The chalk which has fallen from the cliff,being rather soft, erodes away from the hard flint which then accumulates as a shingle beach. Wave action having battered the individual flints together makes them rounded.

The last headland is Seaford Head on the west side of Cuckmere Haven.

In this close-up of part of the Seven Sisters chalk cliffs the flint nodules are easily seen as dark spots on the cliff face.

Cuckmere Haven and Seaford Head seen from the top of the Seven Sisters chalk cliffs.

The spur of shingle jutting into the sea is where the Cuckmere River runs across the beach into the sea.
