Eastbourne

[@jolewis-brown6608]

Not sure why anyone would find Eastbourne unexciting (a previous comment). I lived there for five years and have just revisited: the amazing Towner Art Gallery, The International Lawn Tennis Centre, several theatres, numerous gold courses, bowls and croquet, the walk along the beach to Holywell, Beachy Head, Birling Gap and East Dean - all places to be explored, and the No 12 bus along the coast to Brighton is just the most stunning, spectacular bus route.

[@BlueZirnitra]

Children might find it so. They need to be in McDonald's with a Bluetooth speaker to get excited.

[@janetedwards3445]

Friend moved down from Milton Keynes last year, she loves it , so much to see and do.

[@peterprior1]

Born and bred in Eastbourne and lived there for 54 years before relocating just under two years ago. You certainly made it look so much better than the reality.🤣 The gold on the pier is paint and its owned by the guy who owned a few Eastbourne hotels. Think he did buy or try to buy the Hastings pier too. The pier is much improved now the vulgar amusement arcade (which was lost to the fire a few years ago) had moved. The end of the pier housed a nightclub in my youth. The Grand Hotel is an amazing place inside and out. I'm lucky enough to have been their recommended photographer for over 20 years and it never disappoints. Might be an idea for you to showcase it one day as it really is a gem. Sadly the Redoubt fortress has been allowed to get run down but isn't that the same with so many seaside attractions? Thanks for an excellent video.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

thanks!

[@misskitteecatz]

Been to Eastbourne lots of times, as I live in Sussex, I think a nicer front than Brighton, love the carpet of flowers, palm trees.

[@andyskinner2318]

I was born and brought up in Eastbourne, and I just love your tour! I go back quite often, but you caught the town on such a beautiful day, and of course I like to remember days like that while I was growing up. And sandwiched between the sea and the South Downs, I loved the place. Thanks for the memories, and a lovely view of Eastbourne today!

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Thanks andy

[@williamyohananlavi9598]

@@WalkWithMeTim Great video, just a few points. The lighthouse was moved back 25 years ago now, in January 1999. And secondly, I don't believe you can see France from Beachy Head, its 60 miles away and too far.

Think this is my favourite Tim and I've watched every single one from the beginning! Thanks for all your hard work you deserve your success xx

Wow, thanks!

[@hidefhq]

This is my hometown, the pier is owned by a rich middle eastern man who loves his gold even had his cars gold wrapped, the front of the pier was renovated recently due to a fire which started in the arcade which used to be located at front of the pier. the roads behind the seafront offers up theaters, the tennis lawns where the famous players play before wimbledon. weekends it has a seafront market, all sorts of shows on the wishtower lawn the famous august airshow and other attractions. still a quiet place but no longer labeled as an old people town.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

hey thanks for all the info!

[@mentalgit]

I am from Eastbourne and it's a lovely place, the pier was bought by Sheikh Abid Gulzar, it previously had alot more attractions before the fire in 2014. Since then all the buildings and attractions were taken away and its more of a boardwalk/place to sit now. Sheikh Abid Gulzar lives in Eastbourne and all the cars he owns are painted gold, that is why there is a lot of "gold" on the pier.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

thanks for watching , I think its so pretty there is no other pier like it!

[@nomdaploom]

At one point the entrance to the pier had a sign above saying "Welcome to Skeikh's Pier" but I don't think it's there anymore.

[@eamonnevans8005]

I've just returned from a 5 day stay in Eastbourne. Got a lot out of walking on Beachy Head and the Seven Sisters. The hop-on-hop-off Tour Bus is highly recommended. Downside is the high street has more anti-social behaviour than I remember in my first visit in the 90s.

[@dolaghosh2808]

Fantastic.👏👏. Another great walk. 👍👍

[@RiverDanube]

We didn't find Eastbourne to be very exciting (May, 2015) but we went for a stroll from the Town to the Beachy Head Lighthouse through the grassland and found it to be one of our most memorable walks in England. I don't know what it was, there was just something magic about it, it had such good vibes.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

But when the sin shines.. wow

It's a great view

[@janeb9454]

Thought I would finish watching straight away lol. The carpet gardens were very much neglected during lockdown it was very sad but they are indeed looking very lovely as they always do again now. The bandstand is not currently in use as it is in bad disrepair and from what I gather not much effort being made to get it fixed very fast. Lots of concerts been cancelled unfortunately. There are more martello towers down at Pevensey Bay I believe. Belle tout lighthouse is in need of moving again due to erosion. You can indeed walk to the lighthouse there are regular walking groups who do just that. Not done it myself but I bet its pretty amazing! What a lovely review of the town I live in. The sunshine Coast. We get I believe the most sunshine hours in the country. Thank you again for such a lovely review.

[@michaelhill-ck6ue]

Eastbourne is my favourite resort on the south coast, the building at the end of the pier was the main Pier Theatre that was destroyed by a fire back in 1970 and was replaced by a night club. The amusements on the pier was in the building at the front end and caught fire back in 2014. Have seen two band concerts at the Bandstand. Eastbourne as Three Theatres which present show for all from variety show, musical and I've seen some great plays and comedy plays at the Devonshire Park Theatre which is back on to the tennis courts. The old town of Eastbourne is just two/three street with a good mix of shops. I stay in Eastbourne and go and see the Cricket down the road at the county cricket ground in Hove. Thank you for bring back memories of some great holidays I've had down in Eastbourne.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Just to add onto this great comment, that dome on top of the building at the end houses an ancient - and I believe still functional - camera obscura.

Great to see a great review of our lovely seafront in Eastbourne. Yes, there are the problem areas which many places have but i've lived in the town all my life. I worked at the bandstand and still remember that very dramatic and horrible day that we watched in horror when the pier was on fire. The bandstand is undergoing some very slow restoration work so has a lot of boarding up around it.

[@toenhev17]

For some reason, we holidayed in Eastbourne quite often when I was younger. It doesn't look as though it's changed that much either. I can remember seeing the Radio 1 roadshow there a couple of times. Those large Aloe Vera plants; I've recently found out are actually Agave plants, Tequila is made from it. When the plant dies off a tree grows out of it, you often see them in the old Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns, It grows unbelievably straight with short branches which have a little bit of some kind of flowers pointing upwards

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Good days of the radio 1 roadshow

[@RandomJane104]

Finally a place I've been to. 😀 I saw the pier but didn't get to go on it. Now I'm a little sad. It's a great pier. We took a day trip during a London trip. It was a great day despite circumstances. Very memorable. We took the train to Eastbourne and walked along the sea front and up to the cliffs at Beachy Head. The plan was to walk to Birling Gap but it was misting (mid-Septemer) and I was coming down with a cold. Also I think someone may have just comitted suicide further along the cliffs. The road was closed, we saw a group of people standing around looking down, and we saw a coroner. We ate lunch at the inn at the top of the cliff and decided to get a cab back to the station, where we discovered that the signals were down and no trains could go in or out. We were eventually put on a bus to Lewes where we caught the last train back to London. What a day! I'll never forget it.

[@horlixs]

Hi Tim, thanks for coming to Eastbourne. I live here too, its lovely but i do take it for granted when you live here. The gold is to do with the owner he gives it his mark of the gold lions. He also has hotels including the lions hotel Hailsham/ lower dicker at the boship roundabout. He also has a gold car and van. The pier suffered a fire a while ago so its scaled down a bit but done a great job of restoring it. There was a worry it would be left for ruin at one stage.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

You are welcome, thanks for the extra info

[@JCKHUH]

I have lived in Eastbourne my whole life and you have really showed it off in this video! Well done Tim 👍🏼 p.s the gold you see is just paint the guy who owns it used to own a few other hotels along the seafront which he also got lions painted in gold :) Also the Grand Hotel the Queen has stayed in a few times over the years

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Thanks jack

[@andrewloftus4961]

Also the Grand Hotel is where Claude Debussy has stayed and wrote one of his pieces of music

[@andrewloftus4961]

@Mr Taylor if you watched and listened he did not go to the edge too close as bear in mind camera angles can be deceiving and he decided not to walk to the lighthouse down below due to safety so he is not stupid as your making out also there can be many warnings but u less there is actual enforcement people will ignore sign posts alotnof the time especially those that come from abroad and don't understand our way of life before visiting

[@andrewloftus4961]

@Mr Taylor what I ment by our way of life is how we do things like safety messages etc and I other countries they have actual people patrolling and enforcing the safety measures where at the southbdowns national park in the Eastbourne area we have nothing like that and there are not enough to prevent people from doing things although its common sense to people like you and me

I was lucky enough to spend a summer week in Eastbourne every year for about 35 years, working at the tennis event in Devonshire Park. Always a highlight of my year. Many of the top women players in the world used to attend a party for them in the nightclub at the end of the pier. As already mentioned, the large amusement machine building at the front part of the pier, before the tea room, was destroyed by fire. So too was a hotel opposite the pier. Your video glanced at the site where I assume it is being rebuilt.

The last time I was in Eastbourne was the evening the pier caught fire - I stayed there all night watching it burn and taking some photos... The arcade at the end used to be a nightclub, with the old arcade (that burned down) hitting you as you walked onto the pier. Having the more discreet rounded buildings to walk round at the entrance is a million times better. The old pier seemed to have been forgotten about and it looks like the fire has, from what I can see from your video been a good thing to regenerate it... PS, the painted gold heads are just painted gold so don't bother going back after hours with a hacksaw!

Handy tip if you arrive by train, sea front literally 2 minutes walk and nice town centre too

[@WalkWithMeTim]

@@TheFoxyb good advice

It looks lovely Tim.

when the sun's out!

[@Frankie-so3by]

@@WalkWithMeTim Yeah on the occasion s it's sunny in the UK it's just as nice (or dare I say even nicer than abroad). You will have to take Gaby for a walk there when she's had the baby. I guess she was too busy in superdrug shopping 😄 to go.

Love Eastbourne, I live along the coast in Worthing and go there regularly for thr day! At the end of the peir if I remember rightly used to be a night club (this is going back 15 years back!), and sadly the peir did have a fire about 6 / 7 years back and had to rebuild some of it

[@WalkWithMeTim]

yes I heard that tbh I didn't want to mention in the video

[@honeybadger9425]

Yes it was called Atlantis. Alot of Ghost stories in that end building aswell i have heard over the years. I know people who worked there who said chairs used to move about and stuff.

East Suffolk is beautiful. I used to go to day trips to Eastbourne etc when I lived in London. A lot of language students as STS and EF etc are situated in the seaside towns

[@grahamsmith17466]

East Suffolk?!? Eastbourne is on the Sussex coast.

[@thetarantella69]

@@grahamsmith17466 it should be Eastbourne but my mobile seem to be on auto correct cos I live in Suffolk

Stayed in the grand a few years ago as we came for the County Cup tennis. Its an amazing hotel they even park the car for you. They have on the walls past famous people who have stayed there from like early 1900s etc. We didn't do much sightseeing because of the tennis but also as 1 day we just stayed around the pool and the other we went into the centre. We're going to the best western hotel next week as county tennis is there this year too. We might see the harbour this time

have fun

Claude Debussy stayed in Eastbourne during the summer of 1905 in the Grand Hotel . He put the finishing touches to La Mer whilst there .

Thanks for info

My parents have holiday home 5 miles from Eastbourne. Lots to do and see, best climate in the country on average. I assure you though its not a quiet place, often busy.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

yes specially when the sun comes out

[@JessAnn26]

Its amazing to see Eastbourne from non locals eyes. I work in one of the hotel shown in the video and alot people come and vist and love it here. As some who grew up here its not a place id recommended ahaha!

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Very cool!

[@loispelecanos5447]

The Redoubt Fortress was built in 1804/5 as defence against Napoleon (like the Martello Towers), and not in 1887. The bandstand was built in 1935 (ie not nineteenth century) to replace several Edwardian 'birdcage' small bandstand along the seafront. Also those 'art deco' huts on seafront are very recent art installation additions - only a few years old.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

I know shame it was shut
