Seven Sisters is among the best places in the UK to watch the sunset, according to a new study.

Researchers ranked the cliffs as the best place along the South Coast to enjoy the beauty of sunrise and sunset.

The landmark placed fourth across the UK, behind only Sandbanks beach in Dorset, Spurn Point in East Yorkshire and Ness Point in Suffolk.

A spokeswoman for Nationwide Vehicle Contracts, which carried out the study, said: “With its amazing white chalk cliffs, Seven Sisters provides a stunning place to watch the sunset or sunrise.

“Full of wildlife and right by the sea, it makes a fantastic place to drive to and discover.

“With a low number of rainy days throughout the year, you shouldn’t need to pack an umbrella.

“With Eastbourne only a short drive away, there is plenty to discover at Seven Sisters and with great priced parking at £3.50 for two hours, this is a must visit.”
