Eastbourne & surrounding area

Seaside charm, stunning countryside and major historical sites. Eastbourne and its surrounding areas have something for everyone.

Eastbourne’s iconic Victorian pier, elegant promenade and cultural Devonshire Quarter make it a favourite seaside destination. And just along the coast, the breathtaking Seven Sisters Country Park provides one of the most spectacular views in Sussex, with chalky white cliffs plunging into choppy blue seas. You could also head to the market town of Hailsham, boasting a vibrant local arts scene, regular farmers’ markets, and easy access to the Cuckoo Trail – a peaceful cycling and walking route through the surrounding countryside.

History buff? Step back in time at the nearby Pevensey Castle, where William the Conqueror famously set up camp in 1066. Or head to Herstmonceux Castle, where you can walk through stunning grounds and visit the fascinating Observatory Science Centre – perfect for family-friendly exploration.
