Three guides that will give any visitor a head start.
Original guides covering Eastbourne and the surrounding coast, countryside and communities.
A town with layers
Eastbourne’s elegant seafront is only the beginning. Roman archaeology, Napoleonic forts, Victorian ambition, chalk grassland and living neighbourhoods all sit within a few miles of one another.
Our history collection follows those stories street by street — with enough practical detail to help you go and see them for yourself.
