Self guided walks

Whether you're interested in a slow seafront stroll, or you're someone who really loves a long hike, we've put together some of our favourite self-guided walks to either lead you on a path of new discovery, or to get you to fall in love with it. Eastbourne is full of history, why not head out on the East of the Pier Heritage trail that features walking boards and information points, or follow in the footsteps of Eastbourne's famous past residents on the Blue Plaque Trail.

If nature is more your thing, we've come up with some rural rambles across the South Downs National Park, or a meander through the Harbour for those who want to catch a glimpse of some fishing boats or million pound yachts!

Take a look at our list of walks below. If you think you've got a great walk that we should add and want to share it with the world, contact us and we might just be able to add it on!
