Some things are too precious to lose forever.
This world-famous
view is under threat.
We need your help now.
UPDATE:
The planning consent that was granted by the National Park on 25th March 2021, has been retracted in response to an objection from another organisation. Because of this objection, we will need to submit additional evidence to support our proposal for planning consent. Despite this setback, we continue to work positively towards the renewal of the sea defences and are confident of securing the consent required to proceed with these works.

Cuckmere Haven and the Coastguard Cottages has been a beloved destination for generations of local and international visitors alike. With the help of all of our supporters, we aim to repair and improve the sea defences that protect this incredible view. There is no government or public agency funding for small communities like ours, so we need to raise the funds to complete the work and save this iconic landscape for future generations.
“Cuckmere’s landscape today would be recognisable to anyone stationed there in 1940 and its current condition allows us to understand and interpret it.”
— Peter Hibbs, Military Historian & Archaeologist
