  • Join me in Eastbourne for a full seafront tour!
    We start at the Redoubt fort and head towards the beautiful Eastbourne Pier with its gold looking roof tops, We take a look at the Big Wheel, the beautiful hotel in Eastbourne The Grand and onwards to one of the most famous Lighthouses in the UK at Beachy Head . Beachy Head and the Seven Sisters are famous for their bright white chalk cliffs. The chalk was formed during the Late Cretaceous period (up to 100 million years ago), a time when the area was submerged by the sea
    Beachy Head Lighthouse is a lighthouse located in the English Channel below the cliffs of Beachy Head in East Sussex. It is 43 m in height and became operational in October 1902. It was the last traditional-style 'rock tower' to be built by Trinity House.

    Not sure why anyone would find Eastbourne unexciting (a previous comment). I lived there for five years and have just revisited: the amazing Towner Art Gallery, The International Lawn Tennis Centre, several theatres, numerous gold courses, bowls and croquet, the walk along the beach to Holywell, Beachy Head, Birling Gap and East Dean - all places to be explored, and the No 12 bus along the coast to Brighton is just the most stunning, spectacular bus route.

    This is my hometown, the pier is owned by a rich middle eastern man who loves his gold even had his cars gold wrapped, the front of the pier was renovated recently due to a fire which started in the arcade which used to be located at front of the pier. the roads behind the seafront offers up theaters, the tennis lawns where the famous players play before wimbledon. weekends it has a seafront market, all sorts of shows on the wishtower lawn the famous august airshow and other attractions. still a quiet place but no longer labeled as an old people town.

    Born and bred in Eastbourne and lived there for 54 years before relocating just under two years ago. You certainly made it look so much better than the reality.🤣
    The gold on the pier is paint and its owned by the guy who owned a few Eastbourne hotels. Think he did buy or try to buy the Hastings pier too. The pier is much improved now the vulgar amusement arcade (which was lost to the fire a few years ago) had moved. The end of the pier housed a nightclub in my youth.
    The Grand Hotel is an amazing place inside and out.
    I'm lucky enough to have been their recommended photographer for over 20 years and it never disappoints. Might be an idea for you to showcase it one day as it really is a gem.
    Sadly the Redoubt fortress has been allowed to get run down but isn't that the same with so many seaside attractions?
    Thanks for an excellent video.

    I was born and brought up in Eastbourne, and I just love your tour! I go back quite often, but you caught the town on such a beautiful day, and of course I like to remember days like that while I was growing up. And sandwiched between the sea and the South Downs, I loved the place. Thanks for the memories, and a lovely view of Eastbourne today!

    I am from Eastbourne and it's a lovely place, the pier was bought by Sheikh Abid Gulzar, it previously had alot more attractions before the fire in 2014. Since then all the buildings and attractions were taken away and its more of a boardwalk/place to sit now. Sheikh Abid Gulzar lives in Eastbourne and all the cars he owns are painted gold, that is why there is a lot of "gold" on the pier.

    We didn't find Eastbourne to be very exciting (May, 2015) but we went for a stroll from the Town to the Beachy Head Lighthouse through the grassland and found it to be one of our most memorable walks in England. I don't know what it was, there was just something magic about it, it had such good vibes.

    Eastbourne is my favourite resort on the south coast, the building at the end of the pier was the main Pier Theatre that was destroyed by a fire back in 1970 and was replaced by a night club. The amusements on the pier was in the building at the front end and caught fire back in 2014. Have seen two band concerts at the Bandstand. Eastbourne as Three Theatres which present show for all from variety show, musical and I've seen some great plays and comedy plays at the Devonshire Park Theatre which is back on to the tennis courts. The old town of Eastbourne is just two/three street with a good mix of shops. I stay in Eastbourne and go and see the Cricket down the road at the county cricket ground in Hove. Thank you for bring back memories of some great holidays I've had down in Eastbourne.

    Thought I would finish watching straight away lol. The carpet gardens were very much neglected during lockdown it was very sad but they are indeed looking very lovely as they always do again now. The bandstand is not currently in use as it is in bad disrepair and from what I gather not much effort being made to get it fixed very fast. Lots of concerts been cancelled unfortunately. There are more martello towers down at Pevensey Bay I believe. Belle tout lighthouse is in need of moving again due to erosion. You can indeed walk to the lighthouse there are regular walking groups who do just that. Not done it myself but I bet its pretty amazing! What a lovely review of the town I live in. The sunshine Coast. We get I believe the most sunshine hours in the country. Thank you again for such a lovely review.

    Finally a place I've been to. 😀 I saw the pier but didn't get to go on it. Now I'm a little sad. It's a great pier.
    We took a day trip during a London trip. It was a great day despite circumstances. Very memorable.
    We took the train to Eastbourne and walked along the sea front and up to the cliffs at Beachy Head.
    The plan was to walk to Birling Gap but it was misting (mid-Septemer) and I was coming down with a cold. Also I think someone may have just comitted suicide further along the cliffs. The road was closed, we saw a group of people standing around looking down, and we saw a coroner.
    We ate lunch at the inn at the top of the cliff and decided to get a cab back to the station, where we discovered that the signals were down and no trains could go in or out. We were eventually put on a bus to Lewes where we caught the last train back to London. What a day! I'll never forget it.

    For some reason, we holidayed in Eastbourne quite often when I was younger. It doesn't look as though it's changed that much either. I can remember seeing the Radio 1 roadshow there a couple of times. Those large Aloe Vera plants; I've recently found out are actually Agave plants, Tequila is made from it. When the plant dies off a tree grows out of it, you often see them in the old Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns, It grows unbelievably straight with short branches which have a little bit of some kind of flowers pointing upwards

    I was lucky enough to spend a summer week in Eastbourne every year for about 35 years, working at the tennis event in Devonshire Park. Always a highlight of my year. Many of the top women players in the world used to attend a party for them in the nightclub at the end of the pier. As already mentioned, the large amusement machine building at the front part of the pier, before the tea room, was destroyed by fire. So too was a hotel opposite the pier. Your video glanced at the site where I assume it is being rebuilt.

    Hi Tim, thanks for coming to Eastbourne. I live here too, its lovely but i do take it for granted when you live here. The gold is to do with the owner he gives it his mark of the gold lions. He also has hotels including the lions hotel Hailsham/ lower dicker at the boship roundabout. He also has a gold car and van. The pier suffered a fire a while ago so its scaled down a bit but done a great job of restoring it. There was a worry it would be left for ruin at one stage.

    Hi there great video I really enjoyed it this video has certainly brought back some memories for me as Eastbourne is my second town as my grandmother lives in Eastbourne and I go to visit her once a week and I was even born at the Eastbourne DGH Hospital and I used to walk the sites of Eastbourne including the pier and I used to go on the pier a lot as a kid and what by the way just so you know what used to be the Atlantis nightclub now the Arcade was once the old pier theatre which my great grandmother used to always play the piano at when it was a theatre and when they were doing shows there and I also love to see shows at the theatres now in Eastbourne like the Congress or even the Devonshire Park theatre and I even loved walking in and around the band stand quite a bit as well and I also used to love coming to the beach and sitting there and watching shows like Airbourne which is Eastbourne's Air show and even the Lamas festival which takes place or used to take place I should say as it is not anymore near the Martello Towers and also I miss the old dome that used to be on the front part of the pier and used to be the Arcade before it burnt down I personally feel that the pier has not been the same since that burnt down but thank god though that the rest of the pier was saved though so at least the pier can still be in use so thank you again for making this fantastic video and reminding me of my childhood memories of coming to Eastbourne and visiting my Grandmother and seeing the sites of Eastbourne so keep up the good work and I will look forward to seeing many more of your walking tour video's of England's historic towns and cities in the future ok.

    We have family in Eastbourne and miss coming over to see them, as they live near the village of mead we would walk most days, its a very pretty town, we would walk and then make sure we ended up for lunch at the Pilot Inn which became our pub to visit while we were there in 2015, which coincided with Airbourne Eastbourne airshow, now that was magic. Love the old town and there are many places to visit and see and things to do, so roll on when we can again return back to this part of the world. At 0.47 you show a lions head or statue I beleive there is a story about this and some others around Eastbourne of course beachy head the film scene where the vespa was driven off of the cliff near where you were, also an early jethro Tull music video was filmed there with the light house below, I found that spot back in 2003

    How can I not like this vid about my home crib. I was born in EB and lived here my whole life, on the whole the it's a nice place to live, I used to live 5-10- min walk from the redoubt, the pier has changed there a couple of arcade type buildings one that burnt down and the area at the beginning of the pier with green had one the other was in building right behind or thinking about it the tea room might have been the 2nd it's been a while, the arcades right at the back was for years as long as I can remember was a night club, I also have an idea that viewing area at the end and upstairs used to be allowed I do have memories of being up there before (the gold on the pier is just paint I very doubt it is anything else), I remember when they had to move belle tout I think the place is called.

    Stayed in the grand a few years ago as we came for the County Cup tennis. Its an amazing hotel they even park the car for you. They have on the walls past famous people who have stayed there from like early 1900s etc. We didn't do much sightseeing because of the tennis but also as 1 day we just stayed around the pool and the other we went into the centre. We're going to the best western hotel next week as county tennis is there this year too. We might see the harbour this time

    I've just returned from a 5 day stay in Eastbourne. Got a lot out of walking on Beachy Head and the Seven Sisters. The hop-on-hop-off Tour Bus is highly recommended. Downside is the high street has more anti-social behaviour than I remember in my first visit in the 90s.
