Day 1: We travel south via the motorways arriving at our hotel.
Day 2: A day at leisure to relax and explore your surroundings.
Day 3: Today we visit Rye with its quaint charm of the 18th century cobbled
streets and breathtaking views of Romney Marsh. This afternoon we visit Great Dixter
House & Gardens – the family home of the late Christopher Lloyd, who devoted his lifetime
to creating one of the most experimental, exciting and constantly changing gardens of
our time. It was the focus of his energy and enthusiasm and fuelled over 40 years of books
and articles. Now under the stewardship of Fergus Garrett and the Great Dixter
Charitable Trust, Great Dixter is an historic house, a garden, a centre of education, and a
place of pilgrimage for horticulturists from across the world.
Day 4: Our excursion today takes us via dramatic Beachy Head and the Sussex
Coast to Regency Brighton. Brighton offers everything from Regency heritage
to beachfront cool. This cosmopolitan city has something to offer everyone. Explore
the narrow passages and cobbled streets of the lanes, indulge yourself in a vast array
of boutique shops, dine in one of the hundreds of restaurants and cafes and visit
famous landmarks such as the Royal Pavilion and Brighton Beach. Before returning to our
hotel, we visit the picturesque village of Alfriston.
Day 5: Sadly after breakfast we bid farewell to Eastbourne and begin our journey
home.
