The Seven Sisters: A Sanctuary of Inspiration and Renewal

Inspired by the heart-warming tale of love and resilience in “The Salt Path,” we invited our OS Champions to reveal special routes that are filled with meaning for them. In this post we hear from hiker May Cheung

The Seven Sisters is more than just a beautiful coastal walk to me, it’s where my love for hiking really began. I discovered it after completing a 57km charity hike, exhausted but so inspired.

I returned soon after and it’s become my go-to place whenever I need to reconnect, recharge, or reflect. It’s where I bring loved ones when I want to share the magic of the outdoors, and every time I return, it gives me something new, a breathtaking sunset, a cloud inversion floating above the sea, a full moon rising over the cliffs, or simply the stillness of the night sky.

The Seven Sisters is a special place to me, a walk I return to again and again to find strength and feel joy. It never fails to remind me just how healing and freeing the outdoors can be.
