 Eastbourne
|
|
| Eastbourne,
a thriving seaside holiday resort, often the hottest place in
the country in the summer, which has been popular since the
19th century.
The town has several
parks, including Devonshire Park, and Hampden Parks, and there
are lawns along the seafront promenade, Grand Parade, where
there is the Wish Tower, a Martello Tower built in 1804 with
a museum.
Parts of Eastbourne
old town include the 18th century Compton Place, not forgetting
the pier, built in 1872, 600 feet long.
Generally the resort
has the air of slight sophistication.
You can easily walk
along the coast to Beachy Head, the famous chalk headland,
with its views, or further along to the Seven Sisters, great
chalk stacks. Lot's to explore inland as well as along the
coast.
