Walks in Sussex: Cuckmere Haven and the Coastguard Cottages

- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- Today Martin Snow and I are off in search of coastguard cottages. Perched on the edge of the cliffs just east of Seaford and adjacent to the Seven Sisters are a set of iconic buildings. Built there in the 18th century to house sentries to keep an eye out for smugglers.

Another interesting video!
Great Video
Im watching this bc in 3 weeks im going for two nights and were gonna have a cottage
The Seven Sisters is my all time favourite view :)
It is beautiful out there, I totally agree.
Before I get shot down in flames, I said Tertiary for the 'brown' deposits on the top of the cliffs.
I have checked and this is what the Geological Survey says 'Storm Beach Deposits - Gravel. Superficial Deposits formed up to 3 million years ago in the Quaternary Period. Local environment previously dominated by shorelines.' - only a few million years out!
Clever clogs!
Watching 3 years almost to the day since this film. Timing coincides with Summerland which features the cottages extensively.
Warren Ellis lived in the weatherboard one at some point. The interior was in '20,000 Days on Earth', Nick Cave comes for lunch and Warren cooks. The next time I saw it was in tv series Luther.! looking kind of bleak...
And today I saw it again in 'Anatomy Of a Scandal' (exterior only)
here is the Warren Ellis clip

Hi Richard, my friend Sian from Ferring, mentioned the Cuckmere Haven recently and I happened to stumble across this video.
We have been to the pub nearby, The Golden Galleon, as the guy who used to manage it we followed around Sussex. Brilliant guy has now returned to South Africa
SEA CHANGE (verse 1 of 3)
Chalk cliff recedes with passing time
By tide and gale undermined
Against the onslaught no defence
Nature's raw power too intense
Sheer white beauty much maligned... JB
Really enjoyed watching this, prt of the country I havent seen before apart from birling gap, thank you
So pleased that you enjoyed it - we were lucky with the weather. Thank you
That was very interesting! It reminds me of the coastguard cottages that were on the cliffs to the east of Hastings! There was a woman who lived in one,with her child and mother right on the edge of the cliff! She didn’t need a dustbin as she could tip her rubbish straight out the window into the sea and climb down to the beach,to collect fire wood! There is footage of it that can be found on U tube,if you care to search around!! They were demolished back in the 1960s!!
Heavens - dumping the rubbish the sea! Outrageous!
The walk from Seaford, along the cliffs to these cottage is one of my favourites, especially id the weather is fine.
All good fun!
