Local area guide
Skip hire in Eastbourne
Eastbourne is a seaside town in East Sussex, sitting at the eastern end of the South Downs beneath Beachy Head, with a population of around 100,000. It was a cluster of four small settlements — the old town around St Mary's Church, plus Bourne, Southbourne and Meads — until the mid-nineteenth century, when the 7th Duke of Devonshire set out to develop his land as a planned resort. The result is one of the most coherent Victorian seaside towns in England, laid out to a single vision with wide boulevards, a grand seafront and a strict separation of residential and commercial streets.
The Duke's plan gave Eastbourne its distinctive three-tier promenade, its Grand Parade and its carefully maintained seafront gardens, from which the town's nickname, the Sun Trap of the South, derives — Eastbourne regularly records among the highest sunshine totals in Britain. Eastbourne Pier, opened in 1870, is among the best-preserved Victorian piers in the country. The Grand Hotel, known as the White Palace, was home to the BBC Palm Court Orchestra for decades, and the Congress and Devonshire Park theatres form a substantial cultural quarter. Devonshire Park also hosts the Eastbourne International tennis tournament each June, a key grass-court warm-up for Wimbledon.
The town's greatest asset is its setting. Beachy Head, the highest chalk sea cliff in Britain at 162 metres, rises immediately west, with the Seven Sisters running on towards Seaford — one of the most photographed stretches of coast in England and the eastern gateway to the South Downs National Park. The Towner Gallery holds an important collection of British art including the Ravilious archive, and the Redoubt Fortress and a string of Martello towers reflect the town's Napoleonic defences.
Eastbourne sits at the end of the A22 and A27, with Eastbourne station giving services to London Victoria in around 90 minutes and along the coast to Brighton, Hastings and Ashford. Neighbouring communities include Hailsham, Polegate, Pevensey, Seaford, Willingdon and Langney.
Housing in Eastbourne ranges from grand Victorian and Edwardian villas and terraces in Meads and along the seafront — many long since converted into flats, apartments and care homes — to Victorian terraces in the Old Town and Seaside, interwar and post-war estates at Hampden Park and Langney, and modern development on the northern edges at Sovereign Harbour, a large marina development built from the 1990s. The town has one of the oldest population profiles in the country, with a very high proportion of retired residents, converted flats and residential care accommodation.
