Birling Gap
Description
Birling Gap sits at the end of the chalk ridges known as the Seven Sisters and before the ascents to the lighthouse at Belle Tout and the final climb to Beachy Head. The small hamlet has a large National Trust tea room. Since originally visiting there has been significant erosion of the cliffs at Birling Gap, causing the closure of part of the tea-room and temporarily cutting access to the beach.
