Eastbourne was developed by the 7th Duke of Devonshire when he inherited the small village in 1834. He wanted to build something totally different from the extrovert gaiety of nearby Brighton, and created an elegant place with fine parks and gardens, wide tree-lined roads and grass in long, trim stretches. Eastbourne owes much to the Victorians who laid out many parks and gardens, as well as the building of the pier.

Eastbourne seaside resort has an excellent range of activities, sports and events to enjoy in a fantastic setting. Everything is within easy reach, with the seafront promenade virtually leading straight on to the foot of Eastbourne downs, the town centre just a few yards from the centrally located Victorian pier. The East Sussex coastline is a designated Area of Outstanding Beauty. The chalk cliffs of Beachy Head stand out magnificently from the English Channel with a walkers route along the cliff tops called the Peace Path.

Whether you’re visiting this beautiful seaside town for a holiday or just for the day, Eastbourne offers a superb range of outdoor activities and attractions. The town has one of the top sunshine records and has been awarded the Seaside Award for it's clean and safe beaches for the past eight years.
