Nice to see the sun make an appearance after a couple of grey, drizzly days. It's certainly feeling more spring like today. #SevenSisters #Spring

We couldn't let #BritishPieWeek pass without a mention of The Hungry Monk in Jevington, birthplace of the Banoffee (or should that be, Banoffi) Pie, could we? 📷 Kevin Gordon #SouthDowns

Grazing cattle doing their thing. Over the year, we rotate where the cattle and ponies graze. Chewing longer grasses helps to create the conditions required for chalk grassland flowers to flourish in the spring and summer. #SevenSisters #Conservation

The songster of the Downs, the skylark. Vaughan Williams', 'The Lark Ascending', imitates the sound of the skylark as it embarks on a journey across the English countryside. #WorldWildlifeDay #WorldWildlifeDay2023

Recent rain and wind has caused the cliff tops between #Newhaven and #Peacehaven to be unstable and more likely to collapse. Without warning, large chunks of cliff can fall hundreds of feet to the ground below. If you visit the coast, #BeCliffAware #BeTideAware

Ferocious. That's the only way to describe the recent weather. If you are heading out to the coast, please always check tide times and alert someone to where you will be. Don't get caught out. 📷 Kev Osman ⠀ #SevenSisters #SevenSistersCountryPark

You will not get your second flowering and you will only deprive yourself of the crop of long bottle-shaped scarlet hips of the autumn. Preserve them at all costs, these sealing-wax fruits will hang brighter than the berries of the holly.

Earlier this year, the Shoreham to Eastbourne section of the England Coast Path officially opened. The 33-mile stretch connects West and East Sussex. Once complete, the 2,700 mile-long England Coast Path will become the longest walking route in the world. #SevenSisters

The history of the Downs, and the way it looks today, is inextricably linked with the history of farming. With many farms engaged in round the clock operations right now, please be mindful not to block gates or narrow roads. 📷 Edd Allen #Farming #FarmingLife #SouthDowns
