A pleasant walk along the beach will bring you to the new Sovereign Harbour complex with quayside restaurants, shopping centre and a multiplex cinema. A little furtheralong the coast is the Victorian seaside resort of Eastbourne with its many attractions ranging from leisure centres, promenade walks and the pier to the famous carpet gardens.

Beachy Head heralds the start of the South Downs Way and is only five miles away. Its spectacular 163m (536ft) chalk cliffs and miles of open countryside make it ideal for walking and cycling.

History lovers are spoilt for choice as Pevensey Bay is in the heart of 1066 country. Pevensey & Westham Castle founded by the Roman Empire in the 3rd or 4th century is a convenient 15-minute walk across the marshes from the caravan site and the small town of Hastings just a 20 minute drive.

Other well-known attractions in the area include the annual air display, the ladies international tennis tournament and Eastbourne’s four theatres.
