About Eastbourne - show infohide info
Eastbourne is a medium-sized town in East Sussex, on the south coast of Great Britain, with a population, according to the 2001 census, of around 90,000. Created almost from scratch during the 19th Century, it soon became a prime seaside resort, but has since suffered from the general trend away from taking holidays within the UK. Geographically, Eastbourne is situated at the very end of the South Downs, and boasts the famous Beachy Head cliff, as well as extensive beaches. It is also within fairly easy reach of Brighton and London, although the lack of modernisation of the local train network makes it less attractive to commuters. The town promotes itself as "The Sunshine Coast", and often claims the highest recorded hours of sunlight, producing a rivalry with the larger coastal resorts of Bournemouth and Weymouth. To many people, however, Eastbourne is more readily associated with the elderly, as it has historically been a popular retirement destination. This reputation is no longer entirely accurate, as recent major housing developments have been aimed mainly at young families, and the provision of adequate schooling is a key local issue. Other towns in the area include Worthing, Brighton, Horsham, Uckfield, Hastings, Lewes and Bexhill
