After this morning's pickups, we make our way to our hotel in Eastbourne.

Day 2

After breakfast, we head along the South Coast to the historic town of Hastings, a destination rich in charm and heritage. Why not take a leisurely stroll through the elegant Warrior Square Gardens, relax by the beautifully kept seafront, or enjoy a walk along Hastings Pier, where you can soak up the fresh sea air and coastal views? This afternoon, we travel to Tunbridge Wells; here, it's 'all aboard' the nostalgic Spa Valley Railway to steam through the picturesque countryside. After our journey, we return to Eastbourne this afternoon.

Day 3

Overlooking the famous flower-decked promenade, beautiful Victorian pier and the beach, starting at Eastbourne's Grand Parade is the perfect way to get the most out of your day. The Eastbourne Lifeboat Museum, the Winter Gardens and the town's beach and pier are just a short leisurely walk from here. If you want to explore more, jump aboard Eastbourne's Miniature Steam Railway and admire its accompanying gardens or travel aboard an open-top bus for views of the town and seafront.

Day 4

Today, we visit the bustling seaside city of Brighton. Home to the iconic Royal Pavilion, famous piers, and the i360 observation tower, which gives spectacular views over everything below, Brighton has been a magnet for visitors searching for fun, frolics, and fresh sea air for hundreds of years, including royal party boy King George IV. This afternoon, we continue to medieval Lewes; nestled amongst the South Downs, you'll find 'olde English' churches, maze of tiny twittens (a local word for alleyway), and the remains of a Norman castle.

Day 5

After departing from our hotel, we begin the journey home via a visit to a local vineyard for a tour and tasting. We sample their award-winning fine wines while taking in the picturesque views of the surrounding countryside. If you like what you've tried, why not treat yourself to a bottle in the gift shop to take home? We then continue our journey home.
