Sample of the Itinerary (Subject to Change),

 

Day One

Travel to Eastbourne with comfort stop on route, check in at hotel and enjoy the evening meal and entertainment.

 

Day Two

Coach Excursion to the Bluebel Railway for a return train journey.

 

Imagine travelling through 11 miles of glorious Sussex scenery behind a steam engine. Bluebell Railway offers that and so much more for the whole family.

Bluebell Railway was one of the first preserved heritage lines in the country, resulting in one of the finest collections of vintage steam locomotives and carriages – many of which were preserved straight out of service from British Railways.

 

The Bluebell Railway commenced train services in August 1960 and now runs steam trains between Sheffield Park and East Grinstead, stopping at Horsted Keynes and Kingscote.

 

 

Day Three

Coach Excursion to Brighton, Via Seven Sisters, for chance to experience the I360

 

The Seven Sisters are a series of chalk sea cliffs on the English Channel coast, and are a stretch of the sea-eroded section of the South Downs range of hills, in the county of East Sussex, in south-east England.

 

Brighton is a seaside resort and one of the two main areas of the city of Brighton and Hove in the county of East Sussex, England. It is located 47 mi south of London. Archaeological evidence of settlement in the area dates back to the Bronze Age, Roman and Anglo-Saxon periods.

 

 

Optional Chance to Experience the I360 - Extra £17.95pp

Viewed from the outside, the i360 is all of these things and more. It’s visionary, daring, ingenious, spectacular, eccentric, exuberant and tall – very tall. But experienced from the inside, it is simply a joy.

 

The design of the i360 is ingeniously different. Its doughnut-shaped glass pod acts as both a lift and a viewing platform, carrying you up and down the tower while providing unobstructed panoramic views from start to finish.

 

The spacious glass viewing pod allows you to walk around and enjoy the views of the quirky city of Brighton, beautiful rolling South Downs National Park, the UNESCO Biosphere and, on the clearest days, all the way along the coast to the Isle of Wight.
