A good walk,short drive or bus journey from the centre of Eastbourne is Beachy Head.One of Britain's highest chalk cliff walks,and a National Park to boot.With far reaching views over the sea,and from Eastbourne stretching all the way to Hastings.Which is indeed a sight to see at Sunrise.
You can also reach it by walking along the beach at low tide.Though be careful of the tides!You don't want to be trapped by an oncoming tide.
Beachy Head is so picturesque it has been used as a location for many movies,from James Bond to Harry Potter.
However it is a beauty spot with a dark side.With ghost stories and unfortunately a suicide spot.There's little crosses dotted along the cliffs edge.In memory to these lost souls.
Back to a lighter side.If your in need of refreshment there's a pub next to the main car parks.
If you're up here during Airborne.Which is again the biggest FREE airshow in the country.You will experience the thrill of the planes screeching just overhead.
Walk,cycle,drive or whatever all the way around this lush,windswept tree peninsular.Passing by a lighthouse and Para gliders to Birling Gap.With yes another pub(and Hotel).Down on the beach another natural phenomena.A white rocky reef,visible at low tide.
Time it right for the Sunset,and you will be in for a Sunset spectacular.As the red orange sun sizzles into the icy blue sea.
