Walking from Seaford to the Cuckmer River Estuary through the Seaford Head Nature Reserve, in glorious weather.
The Reserve is located at the eastern end of Seaford, spanning from Seaford Head over to Cuckmere Valley and inland with the Cuckmere River. The Reserve is jointly owned by Seaford Town Council, the National Trust and East Sussex County Council.
Seaford Head is classed as a Nature Reserve because it encompasses so many valuable conservation habitats. It stands on one side of one of the last remaining undeveloped river mouths on the South Coast: the Cuckmere Estuary. It is home to many  rare and significant species of plants, birds and insects, providing visitors with walks with stunning views of the Seven Sisters Cliffs and the Cuckmere River Valley.

Tidal surges and storms are battering the coast. The Cliff face is the ultimate canvas for Mother Nature. Omnia mutant.

Dusk at sea

 

                             Dusk at Sea

By Thomas S. Jones

1882-1932

---

To-night eternity alone is near:
         The sea, the sunset, and the darkening blue;
Within their shelter is no space for fear,
         Only the wonder that such things are true.

The thought of you is like the dusk at sea --
         Space and wide freedom and old shores left far,
The shelter of a lone immensity
         Sealed by the sunset and the evening star.

I won't let the sun go down on me
