King Charles III Unveils Stunning Seven Sisters Nature Reserve on East Sussex Visit
Halfway Mark for Ambitious Nature Project
King Charles III officially opened the dazzling new Seven Sisters National Nature Reserve during a high-profile visit to East Sussex. This launch marks the 13th reserve in his bold King’s Series plan to create or expand 25 nature reserves across England by 2027 — hitting a crucial halfway milestone.
Britain’s First Groundwater Reserve
Spanning a massive 1,500 hectares, Seven Sisters is one of the UK’s most treasured natural landscapes. It also breaks new ground as the country’s first nature reserve dedicated to protecting groundwater. The reserve safeguards vital drinking water supplies and shelters rare species like the secretive short-snouted seahorse.
A Royal Stroll and Community Cheers
Joined by environmental advisor Tony Juniper, the King walked two kilometres along the freshly unveiled King Charles III England Coast Path, part of the world’s longest managed coastal route at 2,700 miles.
At the Salt Marsh Café, His Majesty met local residents, charities, and project partners who helped bring this green vision to life. He unveiled plaques to officially open both the reserve and the new coastal path, underscoring his lifelong dedication to conservation and public access to nature.
“This is a landmark moment in our commitment to preserve England’s landscapes for generations to come,” said King Charles.
