Known for
Beachy Head (the dramatic chalk headland, one of England's most iconic coastline features), the Grand Parade (one of England's finest Victorian seafronts), the Towner Gallery, and a South East resort of exceptional Victorian architecture
A little history
Eastbourne was carefully planned by the Duke of Devonshire as a model Victorian resort — the seafront's Grand Parade, hotels and gardens are a remarkably complete example of Victorian seaside town planning. Beachy Head, rising 530 feet from the sea, is one of England's most dramatic natural landmarks.
Beachy Head for the extraordinary clifftop walk — genuinely one of England's great coastal views. The Towner Gallery for excellent contemporary art. The Grand Parade for the full Victorian seaside experience. The Carpet Gardens in summer.
