must see/photograph things around Eastbourne?

[ukglyn]

Hi all
I have got a couple of days in the Eastbourne/Hastings area next week and wondering what are the best spots locations around here for photography?

Look forward to your suggestion!

There's some great opportunities all along the coast. Severn Sisters to the west, Eastbourne seafront and pier, the De le Warr pavilion at Bexhill, what's left of Hastings pier, bottle alley on St. Leonards front. Hastings Old Town is a good one with the net shops and fishing boats.

Anyone under the age of 70 would be a novelty

Being more serious Beachy Head is worth a visit, seem to remember from my fishing days that Birling Gap is a good spot to get some views of the cliffs

Spike Milligan hated it. I love Spike but I have to disagree with him on this one.

All I remember about Hastings was lots closed down shops......

Thanks all, suggestions noted, but keep them coming. I will have to find a youngster for a candid shot now the gaunlet about under 70's has been dropped

If diggers and big trucks are your thing, there's a lot of work going on at the beach in Eastbourne. They've dredged up tonnes of flint from the sea bed which they're spreading over the beaches to replace all the shingle that's lost every year. Other than that, there's a fairly standard small town centre and, as others have said, the downs on the edge of town leading to Beachy Head and the Seven Sisters. There's also a half marathon on the 6th March.
