Crossing the water & the idyllic Sussex coastline
On Day 1, we embark on a scenic ferry boat ride from Duinkerken to Dover. The white cliffs of Dover greet us from far way, long before docking in. After a quick bite on the way, we kick off the drive to the idyllic Seven Sisters Cliffs and Birling Gap, where the views are a symphony of natural beauty. Cruising to Brighton, the MX-5 Roadster allows us to fully immerse in the picturesque surroundings. The day ends with a sunset at the Pier, followed by a crafted cocktail at the Oxford Residence. It’s the perfect end to a day that’s been as much about the drive, as the stunning locations we’ve visited.

Idyllic Seven Sisters' Cliff & Birling Gap
Heading to the Seven Sisters Cliffs is like stepping into a postcard. Nestled along the Sussex coast, these iconic chalk cliffs, rise beautifully against the English Channel’s azure waters. Where to stop? Well, there’s Birling Gap; this cool little spot by the sea where you can kick back and forget about your to-do list. The beach might be pebbly, but it’s perfect for chilling, snapping some pics, or just listening to the waves do their thing. And hey, if you’re into birds and flowers, you’re in luck. The place is crawling with wildlife.
Avoid the highway, for an even better view.
Brighton Pier
There’s something magical about a sunset at Brighton Pier. It’s not just the way the sky turns a palette of oranges and pinks, it's also how it contrasts with the dimming lights of the pier. Stop by for a little casino game or even try the famous fish and chips?
A scenic 10 minutes walk from the pier, you'll find the Artist Residence, a beautiful end to your day

With views of the sea and the iconic West Pier, it’s a place where you can kick off your shoes, sink into a comfy bed, and let yourself be inspired by your surroundings.
