TOUR 1 WINTER WARMER - EASTBOURNE
24th - 27th FEBRUARY 4 DAYS
£175.00 No Single Room Supplement
Eastbourne is a lovely resort and enjoys a fabulous position on the edge of the South Downs. It has higher than average sunshine figures and there are 3 miles of promenades. The world famous Carpet Gardens are a pleasure to look at whatever time of the year. Eastbourne has many attractions including a Victorian pier and bandstand. The town dates back to 1811, when a local Squire, Louis Regonwell, built a summer house on the wild unpopulated heathland and he planted the first palm trees that now characterise the area.
Your hotel is The Mansion (Lions) Hotel which enjoys a superb position along the seafront. It is opposite the bandstand and within level walking distance of the town centre shops.

There is nothing quite like a bracing walk along the pier or the promenade. The Lanes are in the old part of Brighton and are a myriad of antique shops and boutiques alongside fishermen's cottages and quaint old pubs or you can choose to spend the day in Eastbourne.
Day 3 We have a leisure day in Eastbourne where you can do as much or as little as you like. There are many things to do and see, take a gentle stroll around the many parks and gardens in Eastbourne or enjoy the shopping area, or maybe a little of both.
