Railway Memorabilia Garden on the Cuckoo Trail

Highlight • Historical Site

Eastbourne Seafront

Highlight • Cycleway

National Cycle Route 21 runs directly along the seafront and makes for such a good place to ride. Coastal views and up to the hills of the South Downs in the west and no traffic. Bliss.
