Sovereign Harbour is very nice place to have a walk, for coffee or a meal. Often very breezy. Lots of activity to sit and watch with the boats going in and out of the harbour.,or can play mini golf.

#bucketlistreboot Sovereign Harbour Marina 🤩 This is the lovely sunny day at the Eastbourne Pier. Eastbourne is located in South East England. It is a nice place for travellers who are enjoying quiet time and refreshing their mind. With lots of restaurants, harbour views and charming shingle beach, you could spend your relaxing time and have the sunbath as long as you like. You could also join the local boat trip tours to explore this little charming town and the fishing trip to the endless ocean view. I am sure this is one of the best sightseeing bucket lists you could immerse yourself in such sunny environment. 🌞

A great day had at princes minigolf with amazing food in the clubhouse

Eastbourne has very kind officials who are willing to guide

#UK must-visit photo spots In addition to London eye, the famous Ferris wheel in the UK🎡 There is a Ferris wheel in the small town of Eastbourne near Brighton in the south of England The difference is that London Eye is to appreciate the urban development on both sides of the Thames And Eastbourne sits on the Ferris wheel 🎡 to admire the endless coastline to the south of England Very magnificent 🩷 Eastbourne This used to be a fortress against foreign enemies There you also find the well-preserved war walls 👍🏻 Eastbourne is a holiday destination for the British in the south 🏖️ Because of the long coastline 🌊 Plus the south side is warmer 🌞 It is a place for British people to enjoy sunbathing in summer 🏝️ #UKTravel #OverseasTravel

#europetrip Located on Eastbourne’s seafront, The Grand Hotel is a timeless icon of British seaside luxury. Known as “The White Palace,” this historic hotel combines Victorian charm with modern amenities. The elegant rooms and suites offer comfort and stunning views, while the two award-winning restaurants provide exceptional dining experiences. Guests can enjoy the indoor and outdoor pools, spa treatments, and live music performances. The hotel’s grandeur and warm hospitality make it a favorite destination for those seeking a sophisticated coastal escape. Its proximity to the South Downs adds to its appeal for outdoor enthusiasts.

#2024mapped Eastbourne is 2hr drive away from London, which makes it an easy destination for a weekend getaway, or a detour option from a typical London travel itinerary. And Seven Sister Cliff, which is located within 10km vicinity of the town of Eastbourne, is definitely worth the visit. There are three viewpoints: 1) Coastguard Cottages, 2) Birling Gap, 3) Beachy Head Lighthouse Each of them has their own advantages: the cottages in Coastguard Cottages make perfect foreground for photography, and has legally free parking lots; Birling Gap has the easiest access to the pebbles beach; Beachy Head Lighthouse, facing westward, is the better spot to catch a sunset. I’d recommend to visit all of them if possible, in the order I mentioned, because it would be the west-to-east order, and the access to the pebbles beach would be closed when it’s high tides. But if one has to choose one, Coastguard Cottages would be hands down the best option because it offers most varied view when it’s on low tides. On a side note, the pier in Eastbourne is worth checking out too. And on the way to Eastbourne from London, it’s possible to make a quick detour to Ouse Valley Viaduct for an “infinity viaduct” kinda shot (but it’s SUPER muddy to walk to the photo spot)

#2025OverseasTravelEvent Do you know Seven Sisters?! It is considered a natural landscape that you must see before you die. It is a place that many people visit as a short trip from London, and it is a beautiful coastal cliff that you can go to by taking a bus after traveling to Brighton, England. You can take a train to Brighton and then a bus once, but since it takes 2-3 hours from London, it would be good to go on a Brighton trip + Seven Sisters tour. (There are many day trip tours.) I usually take a certification shot while sitting on the edge of the cliff,,, but I can't do that because I'm scared...! But you can still take great pictures anywhere. If you go down the Seven Sisters cliff, there is another beautiful beach, and it's great to enjoy leisurely.✨ If you go to England, Seven Sisters is a city that I definitely recommend! 📍Seven Sisters #worldtravel #europetravel #europe #london #londontrip #uk #sevensisters #brighton #londonsuburbs #sevensisterstrip #europetrip #europe #london #sevensisters

the beauty of Eastbourne from the commodity of Cavendish hotel #Cavendish

My first European travel destination was England! I was really a frog in a well while visiting museums and art galleries in London..! I was really surprised by the dizzying scale that I couldn't see in Korea😳😳 Among them, the V&A Museum was memorable! The V&A Museum exhibits the collection of Queen Victoria and her husband, Prince Albert. It's really huge in scale, the interior is beautiful, and the collection is so diverse that it was fun to look at :) Of course, it's also free🩷🩷 If you want to go to a different museum in London! I highly recommend going! And there are eco-bags with various patterns, so if you like eco-bags, be sure to stop by the souvenir shop👏🏻👏🏻 ✔️Tickets: Free ✔️Operating hours: Mon-Sun 10:00-17:45 (Fridays only until 22:00) ✔️Location: Cromwell Rd, London SW7 2RL UK #OctoberTravelSupportEvent #UK #UKTravel #London #LondonTravel
