Top 7 travel tips in East Sussex

1. Visit the Royal Palace by the sea

In Brighton, you can see the most spectacular palace. The impressive Royal Pavilion will remind you of the Taj Mahal from the outside. With several domes and minarets, the atmosphere of the palace makes you feel in an interpretation of the Far East. Inside you can see collections of chinoiserie, some dragons and a unique dragon holding a chandelier. Throughout the year, the palace is also used a venue for art exhibitions, classical music concerts and an ice rink in the winter!

2. Hop on an electric railway

Take a ride and enjoy one of England’s oldest electric railway. The ride goes for a mile from the Aquarium in Brighton to Black Rock. Sit back in the semi-open carriage, relax and enjoy the trip taking in the sea views on one side and Brighton's promenade on the other. Once you get to Black Rock you can go for a gentle stroll along the Undercliff Walk and visit the quaint village of Rottingdean and its beach, which is ideal if you go with kids as they can go crabbing. Remember to bring a little bucket!

3. Raise your glass in the South Downs

If you love wine, now you can enjoy a tasty day out at the Ridgeview Estate Vineyard in Ditchling. This family-run business are in the beautiful South Downs where vines grow beautifully thanks to its climate conditions. The cool nights help the grapes to keep an acidity level needed in the production of good sparkling wines. Enjoy a Pinot Noir, some Chardonnay or a Pinot Meunier during your tasting. Raise your glass as you gaze to the green landscape. Get a tour around and learn about the process of wine-making.

4. Enjoy an afternoon tea in style

Have a relaxing time in Eastbourne at one of the best seaside accommodations. Visit the Grand Hotel and treat yourself to a 5 star afternoon tea with great views of the Victorian seafront. The menu will include several options including some for children. A delectable cuppa with glamour, luxury and grandeur and with the chance to listen to the Palm Court Strings Orchestras on certain occasions.

5. Why chefs and artists love Hastings?

Hastings has a maritime heritage that goes back more than 1000 years. The large fishing fleets of Hastings boats on the beach have inspired photographers or painters such as Joseph M.W. Turner. They provide fresh seafood and professional chefs like Rick Stein use this as an inspiration for his creations. If you take the tour of Hastings Stade beach you will hear about the boys ashore and find out what “RX” means. In the afternoon, you can see how fishermen unload the catch of the day. The link between Hastings and the sea is plausible at the Fishermen’s Museum, based in a former church.

6. Play Pooh Sticks with the young ones

Go back to the magical world of Winnie the Pooh and take a walk through Ashdown Forest where he and Piglet, Rabbit Tigger and Christopher Robin roam. Enjoy a friendly competition with the children on Poohsticks Bridge. You can bring your own sticks and drop them. Run fast and get to the other side to see whose stick came first! Walk the trail and enjoy an afternoon in the forest where “a little boy and a bear will always be playing”.

7. Unravel great mysteries

Do you like history? Get into the past story of an old Tudor mansion in Eastbourne. The mansion used to be an Augustinian monastery surrounded by the longest medieval water-filled moat in the country. Many people believe the mansion grounds are haunted. There is still a working watermill, a forge, a rope museum, and an Elizabethan Great Barn. Enjoy with the family and discover everything you need to know about the mansion.
