home - about the area

Beachy Head and the Seven Sisters, with their dramatic white cliffs and gently undulating downs, is an area of outstanding natural beauty and tranquility which belies its proximity to the busy south eastern towns of England.

Beachy Head and the Seven Sisters

The Davies-Gilbert family have farmed the Beachy Head area for 200 years and are pleased to provide our Walking and Cycling page and Location map which provide walks and cycle routes along the Seven Sisters, the Cuckmere valley and a BeachyHead walk, including a walk to the foot of the Beachy Head Lighthouse at low tide.  Beachy Head is a haven for those who like to walk or cycle. It's also a great place for bird watching, hang-gliding, mountain biking through Friston Forest, or for the rather less extreme sport of flying a kite, taking a boat trip around the lighthouse or sunbathing at Birling Gap beach. 

For a wonderful holiday our Beachy Head Holiday Cottages provide four star holiday accommodation throughout the year whether for a week or weekend.  Details are on the Holiday Cottage pages.  

From May 2010 you will be able to stay at the Tiger Inn in East Dean on a bed and breakfast basis whether for a romatic break, walking holiday or simply to enjoy the wonderful food and beer on offer.   You may also like to stay in the recently refurbished Belle Toute Lighthouse which was the subject of a channel five television programme in January 2010.

There are many historic sites in the area, as well as the pretty villages of East Dean, Friston and Alfriston with good pubs and local shops and restaurants to visit.  All within easy reach of the main towns of East Sussex and the South East of England.

For a great day out visitors are welcome to spend some time at the sheep centre, or enjoying some of the finest walks in Britain, plus the Hikers Rest Tea and Gift Shop, Frith and Little Delicatessen, cricket on the recreation ground, or one of the many events in the village and at Beachy Head.   

The farm in addition to our lamb and beef is now producing Beachy Head Ale in a micro brewery in the village which is available in local pubs, hotels, farm shops and quality stores, details are on the Brewery page.

We hope to see you here for a great day out or holiday in East Sussex and would be happy to provide any further information you require.
