Found at the point where the South Downs meets the sea, the Sisters were
created when ancient rivers cut valleys into the chalk, creating seven
peaks. Haven Brow, the highest of them at 253 feet (77 metres), stands
majestically to the west of her other sisters who in order are called
Short Brow, Rough Brow, Brass Point, Flagstaff Point, Baily's Brow and
Went Hill Brow. Under the sea at the foot of the cliffs are a number of
gullies and ridges - varied marine life such as sea anemones, snails,
and sponges can be found there. Now part of the Heritage Coast, an ‘Area
of Outstanding Natural Beauty’ and also a ‘Site of Special Scientific
Interest’, the beauty of the area will be protected for generations to
come
