Seaford Walk: Town Centre & Clifftops【4K】

Located in the county of East Sussex, and around 10 miles east of Brighton, is the town of Seaford. Geographically, Seaford is situated on the south coast between the mouths of the rivers Ouse and Cuckmere. Its shoreline faces southwest and features Seaford Head - a Local Nature Reserve with cliffside views of the Seven Sisters cliffs just opposite (featuring at the end of this walk). At the heart of the town centre is St Leonard's Church. This features a nave dating all the way back to the Norman era, and a 15th century tower. The church is Grade I listed. During the 13th century, Seaford became a limb of the Cinque Ports (a term derived from old Norman French, pronounced 'sink ports' in the anglicised fashion). This was a collection of towns around the southeast coast that provided naval and ferry services in return for tax exemption and other benefits. In Seaford's case, it was a limb of the Cinque Port of Hastings. In addition to shipbuilding, medieval Seaford had a thriving fishing industry, and a port with a two-way trade with continental Europe, importing wines and exporting wool. By the late 14th century, Seaford began to decline, in part as a result of multiple raids from the French. This was exacerbated further by the silting up of the harbour in the 16th century. Some locals turned to illicit practices during this period including smuggling and wrecking, i.e. causing ships to run aground with the use of fake harbour lights in order to steal their cargo. In 1806 the last Martello Tower was constructed in Seaford. This is the most westerly fort of its kind out of 103 built along the coast during the time of the Napoleonic threat. The tower never saw action, but is today home to Seaford Museum, housing a collection of local and maritime history. In 1864 the railway arrived in Seaford courtesy of the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway. This helped revive the fortunes of the town as trips to the seaside for the health benefits were growing increasingly popular during this time in Victorian Britain. Today, the railway station is the southeastern terminus of the Seaford Branch Line, which connects to Lewes on the East Coastway Line, which in turn links to Brighton and London. 👇 SUBSCRIBE TO 4K EXPLORER FOR NEW VIDEOS EVERY WEEK 👇 https://www.youtube.com/4KExplorer?su...
