EASTBOURNE

Eastbourne is a quiet, safe place with lots of facilities for students, especially during the summer. There is a large shopping centre, plenty of restaurants, bars and discos, two large sports centres, three museums, an art gallery, three theatres, a multiplex cinema and numerous parks. A major tennis tournament is held every year at the town's Devonshire Park. Eastbourne's Sovereign Harbour is the largest boat marina in Europe, with places for over 1100 boats. The famous Seven Sisters White Cliffs and Beachy Head are nearby and offer spectacular views over the town and the English Channel. The hilly South Downs are on the west of the town. There are some beautiful, unspoilt towns and villages in the Downs.
