We invite you to take part in the Cuckmere River Pilgrimage, a unique journey of discovery of one of England’s most iconic and spectacular rivers. The Cuckmere River crosses the Low Weald in East Sussex, along the South Downs National Park and across several areas designated as Sites of Special Scientific Interest. The Cuckmere is unique for many reasons. She enjoys the only undeveloped river mouth on the Sussex coast. She is the most meandering river in the Southeast. She holds many spiritual sites and places of pilgrimage. The Cuckmere is highly vulnerable to coastal flooding, rising sea levels and climate change, which is why the fauna, flora and human communities that this river system supports are in present danger. The Cuckmere River is an ideal way to appreciate the life-giving force of rivers-- a cycle to connect with the lore, memory and future of the ancient Weald.
