Arrived Friday evening, 18 May, staying in The Cavendish Hotel.

Saturday 19th walking and sightseeing in Eastbourne.
The Redoubt, one of only three huge circular gun platforms with 23 cannons as part of defences aginst Napoleon, was built in such a rush that no magazine to store gunpowder was planned.

Other end of beach is a Martello Tower (the Wish Tower) that would have mounted one cannon.

Had a terrific lunch with home cooked food and good wine at Crown and Anchor pub.
It was Royal Wedding day, Harry and Meghan so lots of bunting was about, and then more exploring.
End of beach, looking towards Seven Sisters cliffs.
