Eastbourne; Sunday, 11 December, 2011

Another early start and I caught the bus out to Pevensey just a bit further down the coast to have a look around the castle there.

From Pevensey I got back on the next bus and continued on into Hastings. I had a long wander around the town, climbing up to the top of the west cliff only to discover that whilst the castle and the other attractions at the top were closed, the lift wasn’t

Having taken the lift back down I caught the next bus that was coming and continued along the coast through the town of Winchelsea and down into the Cinque port of Rye.

Today Rye is a couple of miles from the coast and consequently a quiet but historic little town. I had a long wander around, including climbing the tower of the church to take in the views, before it was time to head back towards the railway station to catch the train back to Eastbourne.

By the time I got back to Eastbourne it was already dark, so I headed back to the hotel, freshened up and then popped out for a bite to eat, before heading to bed for an early night.
