About Seven Sisters

Plan your visit with confidence

CoastMetric is a real-time conditions app built for coastal visitors. It pulls together live weather, tides, wind speed, air quality, and path conditions into a single Visit Score — so you can see at a glance whether today is a good day to head out to the Seven Sisters.

The Seven Sisters are exposed chalk cliffs on the open coast. Weather, tides, wind, and path conditions can change quickly and without warning. Data shown in this app is gathered from third-party sources and may not reflect current on-the-ground conditions.

Safety Information

Before you go

⛑️ Important safety notes

Observe all warning signs, barrier tape, and ranger instructions on site. Cliff edges are unstable and frequently collapse. Stay well back from edges, especially in wet or windy conditions.

All data, scores, and recommendations provided by this app are for general informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as the sole basis for safety decisions. The Visit Score is an algorithmic estimate — it is not a substitute for your own judgement, local signage, or official guidance.
