EASTBOURNE FEATURES
These details have been taken from the Eastbourne Guide produced by Eastbourne Borough Council.
	Eastbourne is situated in an idyllic position on the south coast. The rolling hills of the South Downs meet the sea at Beachy Head where the magnificent 530ft cliffs provide natural shelter and give Eastbourne an enviable climate with above average sunshine hours. This outstanding landscape is one of the few remaining lengths of undeveloped coast in South East England and makes Eastbourne the perfect place to explore both coast and countryside.
	Eastbourne is probably the country's finest example of a planned Victorian seaside resort. Beautiful tree lined avenues and tiered promenades with elegant hotels are still the heart of the resort. With an enviable climate, clean and safe beaches, excellent shops and exciting entertainment there really is something to offer everyone for a Traditional Seaside holiday.
	Explore the shoreline. The promenade stretches for five miles from Beachy Head in the west to Sovereign Harbour in the east. Explore rock pools or hunt for fossils under the cliffs.
	Sit back and relax with plenty of seating at Western Lawns, the dry moat with aromatic foliage at the Wish Tower, a full programme of music at the famous 1930's Bandstand, and the beauty of the Carpet Gardens.
	Water features at Sovereign Harbour Marina, swimming pool, windsurfing and jet skiing.
	Helen Gardens has spectacular views over the sea and cliffs. Princes Park has a picturesque boating lake surrounded by lawns and flower borders. The Manor Gardens have many beautiful herbaceous borders, rockeries and stunning floral arrangements. Motcombe Gardens enjoys a pretty lake and stream. Hampden Park is the largest of Eastbourne's parks with woodland, lake, flowerbeds and a tea chalet.
	In addition, plenty of safe shopping, fresh fish, boutiques and markets, sports facilities, four theatres, museums and restaurants. Pubs abound, while attractions include Drusilla's Park small zoo with exotic creatures and the Seven Sisters Sheep Centre.
