A pinhole Journey Through Cuckmere Haven and the Seven Sisters Cliffs
After taking a break from my pinhole photography, I'm excited to say I'm started to feel inspired again. But before I can dive into new adventures, there's a bit of a mess to sort out – disorganised photos and neglected websites that need some attention.
In the midst of this cleanup, I've started organising my photos by location. These are places I've revisited for various reasons – maybe to improve my past shots or just because I love being there.
One of these places is Cuckmere Haven in East Sussex. It's where the Cuckmere River meets the stunning Seven Sisters cliffs. Join me as I rediscover these special spots and breathe new life into my pinhole photography.
The main attraction of Cuckmere Haven is its breathtaking natural scenery. The area is characterised by rolling hills, meandering riverbanks, lush greenery, and dramatic chalk cliffs, notably the iconic Seven Sisters cliffs. The Cuckmere River flows through this landscape, creating a serene and picturesque setting.
The Seven Sisters are a series of chalk cliffs that stand proudly along the coastline at Cuckmere Haven. They are a prominent and instantly recognisable natural landmark. The cliffs offer spectacular views of the English Channel and are a popular spot for hikers, photographers, and nature enthusiasts.
On the path down you get the view of the famous coast guard cottages, dating back to the 19th century when they were originally built to house coastguards and their families. The cottages are renowned for their breathtaking and unobstructed views of the English Channel and the iconic Seven Sisters cliffs.
Cuckmere Haven promises a fresh experience with every visit. When the tides recede, they unveil a captivating rocky terrain adorned with enchanting rock pools. On days of turbulent weather, you have the opportunity to capture the raw power of waves crashing against the resilient rocks or surging around the historic coastal defences.
Great set of photos, exquisite work as usual! I'm glad you're back, you are the biggest reason I started loving and shooting with a pinhole camera!
