All about Eastbourne
Twenty miles east of Brighton, Eastbourne is a quieter resort town than its lively neighbour. That’s not to say it’s without its entertainments — the 1930s bandstand on its family-friendly shingle beach is ever-busy, as are the Victorian pier and theatres. But there’s a delightfully calm atmosphere about the town, where the presence of the 100-year-old Towner Art Gallery has fostered an artistic community and generated its own Little Chelsea of galleries and boutiques. Thanks to the Old Town, not to mention the many pretty parks and seafront gardens, Eastbourne maintains a village feel in some parts, befitting its location at the fringes of the South Downs. Meander through the wide Victorian streets of Meads, with their pretty parades of independent shops, and you’ll soon find yourself at the foot of the spectacular 167-metre chalk cliff of Beachy Head, surrounded by the pretty huts and chalets of the off-the-beaten-track beach at Holywell.
What are the top things to do in Eastbourne?
Old Town
Eastbourne’s most charming district is a step back in time, from the ancient parish church founded by the Normans to a 12th-century medieval-timbered inn that serves the local real ale. There’s also the pretty Gildredge Park, a host of independent shops and businesses, and even a Victorian swimming pool.
Eastbourne Redoubt
The circular sunken fortress just behind the beach was built in the 19th century as a coastal defence against the Napoleonic army that never arrived on England’s shores. You can walk its gun platform and parade ground for free, and explore its interior between April and November, while a café and a bijou cinema have also been built inside.
Pevensey Bay
There are plenty of pretty, historic villages to see around Eastbourne, including East Dean, Alfriston, Willingdon, and Jevington, but Pevensey, along the coast, is the only one with its own ruined castle. It was here that the Norman invasion began in 1066, and the surrounding flatlands have become a haven for birds and wildlife.
