Nature's home
With a diverse mix of habitats including stunted oak woodland, grassland and thorny scrub the clifftop offers sanctuary for a number of important species.
Birds including redstart, peregrines and fulmars can spotted. Invertebrates also flourish. Look closely and you may spot the rare weevil Larinus Planus or the mining bee Dasypoda hirtipes.
A helping hand
The area is looked after by a team of rangers and volunteers based in nearby Winchelsea. The footpath is regularly cut during the summer, ensuring plenty of scrub is still left as shelter for the birds. The clifftop grassland is mown and the cuttings removed to keep the nutrient levels low and allow wild flowers to flourish.
