Italian Gardens
Italian Gardens
Quarrying was stopped after it was discovered that the excavations were polluting a nearby pure water spring which was essential for the town’s water supply. The Council converted the quarry into the Gardens in the winter of 1904/5.
The trees growing from the sides of the amphitheatre provide shade on a hot day and help create the impression of a ‘secret garden’.
The Italian Gardens are easily reached by foot or on the seafront Dotto Train and their proximity to the beach make them an ideal picnic spot. Located nearby is a special Millennium In Bloom flower bed designed by local school children. The Italian Gardens also provide a beautiful setting for open air theatre in Midsummer
Please note that the pathways down to the Italian Gardens are quite steep although there is also access up from the promenade which is less so.

Arndale Centre
Arndale Centre
Parking could not be easier with 1300 spaces available in our main car park situated directly above the shops and in our secondary car park in Junction Road just two minutes from the Centre where you’ll find the cheapest parking deal in Eastbourne for just £3.50 a day.
You’ll be spoilt for choice with our great range of places where you can take a break and recharge those batteries. Starbucks, Shades and Cafe Ruby Coffee & Muffin Break to name just a few.

Meads Village
Meads Village
This lovely leafy district has its own village shops, hairdresser and places to eat – including the Pilot, the popular Ship Inn, which serves up excellent pub food, and the Black Cat cafe for indulgent cakes.
This is a great area to be if you want to have a quieter, more tranquil setting for your self-catering holiday, yet be just a few minutes from the seafront and village amenities.
You’ll find a gentrified air, with period architecture and an affluent demographic, with the popular if pricey public schools of Bedes, St Andrews and Moira House providing the base for boarders and day students alike.
It’s a fine place to relax, as you saunter above Holywell, taking in the views of the Channel and Beachy Head, or venture down to explore the rock pools, making this a prime spot for family-friendly fun.
You are literally at the foot of Beachy Head and the gateway to the South Downs National Park, so walkers, runners and cyclists will be in their element – feel free to call or email us for advice on routes and places to take in nearby, such as the idyllic villages of East Dean and Friston.
Eastbourne centre is still easily accessible – just 15 minutes walk to the theatres or around 20 minutes walk or a few minutes drive to the main town centre and shops.
