Walkers on the floodplain of the River Cuckmere
Walkers on the floodplain of the River Cuckmere
The photo shows a number of walkers on the floodplain of the River Cuckmere in East Sussex. Because the muddy path has many puddles, most of the walkers are walking on the adjoining grass beside the path. The flat land of the floodplain is close to sea level and the current plan for this part of the Seven Sisters Country Park is not to maintain the flood defences and to allow the land shown in the photo to revert to watery salt marsh suitable for many species of coastal birds.
