Cuckmere Haven - SEVEN SISTERS COUNTRY PARK.
One of my favourite places to visit in Sussex, England.
Where the Cuckmere river joins the English channel between Eastbourne and Seaford. The river is an example of a meandering river, containing several horseshoe or oxbow lakes. Many come here to walk, cycle, hike and enjoy the spectacular scenery. Motorcycle parking is FREE. Lovely to ride here but you need a change of clothes to really enjoy the walk.
The beach was commonly used by smugglers in the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. Reportedly, in 1783 two gangs of smugglers (each numbering 200 or 300) overcame officers of the law by weight of numbers and carried away a large quantity of goods
In the Second World War, the site was studied by the Luftwaffe as they flew missions to identify potential landing sites for the invasion of the UK mainland. Ditches and anti tank traps were installed and can be seen today.
