The breathtaking scenery at Cuckmere Haven, with the Seven Sisters and Coastguard Cottages, has been used many times as a backdrop for TV adverts and major motion pictures seen by millions.

Guy Fawkes landed here so did Robin Hood. Dickens lived here and Queen Victoria walked the beach. Cheryl Cole sang here and Harry Potter, Foyle's War, Green Wing, Luther and Atonement were all filmed at Cuckmere Haven.

I have filmed Dickens, Queen Victoria and Guy Fawkes at Cuckmere Haven and the cottages. The cottages were here 200 years ago and are here today but will they be there tomorrow?

During July this year I was lucky enough to spend the last week of the film of Blithe Spirit on location at Cuckmere Cottages on the South Coast overlooking the breathtaking sight of the Seven Sisters.
It is a totally unique and unspoilt part of the coast and the cottages themselves not only appreciated by us but as we saw, from visitors and tourists all over the world.
It is the one place I know that if you were to sum up the essence of our country I would have no doubt in recommending it to other people. At all costs it must be preserved.
— Dame Judi Dench
