Golden Cross Holiday Park

Friendly staff at Golden Cross Holiday Park will be happy to point you towards all the east Sussex sights you please, but to get a headstart on working out what’s out there, begin with Eastbourne (20 minutes’ drive). As well as having some excellent shops, you could go for a walk on the prom and pier or hire a kayak or paddleboard for some sweet sea cruising. A cultured evening indeed might be found at Glyndebourne (15 minutes), the local opera house. Other places of interest – which often host events like the races, bonfires, fireworks or air shows – are the Plumpton Racecourse Ltd (half an hour), Lewes (15 minutes), East Hoathly with Halland (five minutes) and the Eastbourne Bandstand (25 minutes). Top bits to see in Brighton (35 minutes) include the amusement piers, aquarium and The Lanes’ boutiques.
