Trip to Seven Sisters and Eastborne



The Seven Sisters is a series of chalk cliffs by the English Channel. They form part of the South Downs in East Sussex, between the towns of Seaford and Eastbourne in southern England. They are within the South Downs National Park which is bounded by the coast, the Cuckmere and the A259 road. They are the remnants of dry valleys in the chalk South Downs, which are gradually being eroded by the sea.


We visited Seven Sisters and the city of Eastbourne with Elder and Sister Madden the weekend of Elder Parker's birthday.

Our SAT NAV (GPS) took us a back way in through the countryside when we chose to leave the motor way, but we saw things we would have missed if we had stayed on the main road.  Notice the White Horse on the mounain.

Which way does the wind blow when you're above the sea?



Eastbourne Pier, near Seven Sisters.  The flowers were in full bloom for Spring.


Happy Birthday #68 Elder Parker!  Looking good!


Night lights near the beach and near the B&B where we spent the night.

Eastbourne Chapel - very historic building - an old Catholic school purchased by our church many years ago.
