What are the must-see attractions in East Sussex?
Don't miss
Beachy Head
The UK's highest chalk sea cliff, you'll find Beachy Head and its equally famous lighthouse amidst the rolling green South Downs and Seven Sisters Country parks. Kites, seabirds and spirits soar at this dramatic location immortalised by poet Charlotte Smith: "On thy stupendous summit, rock sublime! That o'er the channel reared..."
Royal Pavilion
A dreamlike place, the Royal Pavilion is an eastern palace in England. A pleasure dome for King George IV, its architecture combines Regency glamour with visual tropes from China and India. Exotic to a fault, this strange hotchpotch of styles coheres in a mesmerising effusion of decadence that sweeps visitors away.
Seven Sisters Country Park
As though whipped up by the ocean wind, the undulating greenery of this unparalleled national park stretches to the horizon. Putting you in touch with an immense moment of history, through its monolithic scale, the white cliffs fall into the ocean like a great tidal wave. Explore 280 hectares of river valleys, open grassland and unspoilt beach.
North Laine
Brighton's jaunty, vaguely piratical atmosphere can be traced to its Laines, hidden veins of the city's culture. Here you'll find a colourful array of independent shops, cafes and entertainments like markets and public performances. Some of the most vivid pubs and restaurants nestle here, just minutes stroll from the seafront.
East Sussex Falconry
Discover the grace and majesty of these birds of prey at your private falconry demonstration.

The Sulter family are your guides to this incredible experience synonymous with the nature and history of Britain's south coast.
