Eastbourne

Pevensey Castle

Pevensey Castle is one of southern England's most important historic fortresses. Originally built by the Romans in the 3rd century and later linked to William the Conqueror's 1066 invasion, its impressive ruins reveal centuries of military history and coastal defence.

Sovereign Harbour

Sovereign Harbour brings a modern contrast to historic Eastbourne. One of northern Europe's largest marina complexes, it combines luxury apartments, waterfront cafés, restaurants and leisure boating, creating a vibrant destination where maritime activity meets contemporary coastal living.

From Roman ruins and chalk giants to medieval villages and the brilliant white Seven Sisters — Eastbourne's hinterland is England at its most storied.

Gildredge Manor

Hidden within Eastbourne's Old Town, Gildredge Manor is a beautifully restored Georgian building rich in local history. Once home to influential families and the original Towner Art Gallery, it now stands beside peaceful gardens and parks full of character.

Beachy Head

Beachy Head is Britain's highest chalk sea cliff, rising dramatically above the English Channel. Famous for breathtaking coastal views, its iconic lighthouse, wild grasslands and powerful natural beauty make it one of Sussex's most unforgettable landmarks.

Birling Gap & Seven Sisters

Birling Gap and the Seven Sisters showcase some of Britain's most spectacular coastal scenery. These brilliant white chalk cliffs remain natural and untouched by sea defences, while relentless erosion continually reshapes this striking National Trust protected landscape.

Litlington White Horse

Carved into the chalk hillside above the Cuckmere Valley, the Litlington White Horse is one of Sussex's most recognisable landmarks. Created in 1924, the giant figure overlooks the South Downs and has become a lasting symbol of local heritage.

Alfriston

Alfriston is a charming medieval village filled with timber-framed buildings, historic inns and riverside walks. Known as one of Sussex's prettiest locations, it combines rich history, beautiful countryside and traditional tea rooms within the South Downs National Park.

Berwick Church

Berwick Church is internationally renowned for its remarkable Bloomsbury Group murals painted by Duncan Grant and Vanessa Bell. Combining medieval architecture with colourful modern artwork, this peaceful countryside church offers one of Sussex's most unique cultural experiences.

Long Man

The Long Man of Wilmington is one of Britain's most mysterious hill figures. Towering above the South Downs, the giant chalk figure has inspired myths and debate for centuries, becoming an enduring symbol of Sussex folklore, archaeology and landscape heritage.
