Cuckmere Haven - 21.10.2016

The Cuckmere meanders are lakes formed by the diversion of the main flow of the Cuckmere River along a more-or-less straight channel from the Exceat Bridge to the sea. The meanders are tidal to some extent, as the river flows into them at high tide, but the water is retained by sluice gates. They are home to a wide variety of wildlife.
