Day 2

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. 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 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. For something different, the Miniature Steam Railway (not included) and occupying gardens are a fun sight to see.

B, D

Day 4

Welcome to 1066 Country, where William the Conqueror fought for the English throne. Here, we'll enjoy visits to the traditional resort of Hastings and nearby Battle. You may like to hop aboard the unique funicular railways with town views and stunning coastline below in Hastings or visit the promenade for traditional seaside fun? In the afternoon, we head to historic Battle, home to a tranquil medieval abbey, landmark local shops and markets.

B, D

Day 5

After departing our hotel, we visit the Carr Taylor Vineyard for a tour and tasting. We sample their award-winning fine wines and take in the picturesque views of the High Weald Area of Natural Beauty. 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.
