Hill. This is a great place to visit with a range of attractions from its Norman castle
to a miniature railway. It has family amusements and fairground rides as well as the

coast is quiet Eastbourne which has some of the best beaches and sunshine in the UK as
well as brilliant floral displays and the Carpet Gardens.
