Location description

Bexhill-on-Sea is a sleepy retirement town set in magnificent countryside on the south coast of England within easy distance of a wealth of castles, historic attractions and places of interest in 1066 Country and East Sussex, for young and old alike. The town is 5 miles west of Hastings and about 10 miles East of Eastbourne. The proportion of retired people living there is the highest in Western Europe.
Bexhill does have a lot going for it. There is 3 miles of promenade so for a quiet afternoon stroll you can have it. On a windy day you can see for miles, Beachy Head looms to the East, the sailing boats sail along tranquilly from the local sailing club and on a sunny day you can sit on one of the many benches or on the shingle itself and indulge in an ice cream.
At one end of the Promenade is the Cooden Resort Hotel . Built by the 9th Earl De La Warr in 1931. The roundabout by the hotel was once the turn around point for trams. Walking along the beach you pass The Clock Tower which was originally intended for the Coronation of Edward VII in 1902 it was not completed until 1904. You will then pass the most famous building in Bexhill the De La Warr Pavilion. This is Bexhill's most famous building and featured in Poirot’s ABC murders on ITV. Built in the International Modernist style the pavilion was the first large public building to be built using a welded steel frame and opened, in 1935. Just along from the De La Warr you pass The War Memorial. Which was unveiled in December 1920 and next to it The Sailing Club which now occupies the site of Bexhill’s first entertainment pavilion The Kursaal built in 1896. In 1902 Britain held its first Motor race in Bexhill on Sea along the promenade from The Sackville Hotel to Galley Hill and reaching speeds of 54 mph the winner was a car designed by Leon Serpollet's and called Easter Egg Steam Car. At the time this was the fastest car in the world. The Promenade ends at Galley Hill where you can see the remains of a World War II bunker. Spike Milligan who was based at Bexhill from 1940 - 1942 wrote about this bunker in his book 'Adolf Hitler - My Part In His Downfall' and of course later referred back to the town in the Goon Show's 'The Dreaded Batter Pudding Hurler (of Bexhill-on-Sea)'.
If you get fed up with the beach, you can head slightly inland and visit Egerton Park, an ideal place to take young children with its beautifully cared for playground and its boating lake, tennis courts and bowling greens (of course!). The park is home to Bexhill Museum which has remained in its current location since 1914 and houses an impressive collection of objects.
Further in town you come to Bexhill Down a great place to walk the dog, or on summer evenings to play the Sussex game of “stool ball” for one of the local teams or watch the Cricket club in action. North of the Downs is The Down Mill. Also known as Hoad's Mill. The famous artist L.S. Lowry painted the mill shortly before its demise in 1960 Possibly dating from the 18th century the mill finally fell down in 1965 and only the stump now remains. The painting is in Bexhill Museum's collection. Next to the Down is The Drill Hall which was originally built for artillery volunteers in 1901 and the new Bexhill Leisure Centre. It is an indoor complex with gym and health suite, squash courts, climbing walls, and fitness rooms. It also has a sports hall which can be hired by members for a range of sports, a bar, a function room and a children’s play area.
In the Old Town you will find the Manor Gardens. The ruins mark the site where the Manor House built about 1250 used to stand. The Manor House was once home to the Bishops of Chichester, who at the time owned the town. You will also find St Peter's Church which is Saxon in origin with a Norman tower. It is considered to be the church mentioned in the Charter of 772 by King Offa.
The town centre has a good range of small shops for daily needs but it is not large and Eastbourne or Hastings would be better for serious shopping.
Bexhill has a number of good schools and colleges. Hastings and Eastbourne cater for older teenagers with clubs and discos, but Bexhill does have a swimming pool and ten pin bowling alley on a nearby industrial estate but not within easy walking distance and at the end of a main A road so transport would be a necessity for most.
Bexhill is geared towards the older generation, especially those with money to spend which in Bexhill many have, but there are quite a few Parent and Toddler groups and indoor play areas where you can take your children. There are plenty of voluntary and public sector organisations, churches, round-tables, social clubs, special interest groups and so on.
It is a great town to live in or visit for a short break just to be within easy reach of the attractions of 1066 country.
Review
Don’t forget to visit the De La Warr pavilion on the sea-front, a huge art deco concert hall with bars, sun-deck, and exhibition area. This is a world renowned building and if you do an Internet search
h you’ll find various websites describing its importance in architectural history. Its also a nice place to visit and as you wander around you can appreciate the genius of its designer.
If you get fed up with the beach, head inland and visit the many parks, country parks, and woods which can be found within a mile or two. There’s Egerton Park, an ideal place to take young children with its beautifully cared for playground and it boating lake, tennis courts and bowling greens (of course!). Or go to Little Common and walk across the country park, perhaps going on up Pear Tree Lane to Highwoods, an area of public access woodland with nature trails and walks signposted from the entrance. Bexhill Down, a great place to walk the dog, or on summer evenings to play “stool ball” for one of the local pub teams (a Sussex game somewhere between cricket and rounders and played originally with a milk-maids stool, but now with a round long-handled bat).
If you want to go back to the sea again, don’t go down to the sea front but head west towards Cooden Beach. Go there on a hot summers evening if you can, when the tide is out and wander reflectively among the pools and sandbars, collecting shells and pulling up great lengths of seaweed as you go. Simple pleasure but when the mood is right, hard to beat. After your beachcombing session, the Cooden Resort hotel with its garden adjoining the beach, is a great place for a drink or a meal.
Bexhill has all the usual facilities like a sports centre, a leisure pool, out of town super-stores, drive thru McDonalds, but also benefits from high levels of service from local tradesmen. It was a place I could find a plumber or a car mechanic without feeling I was being ripped off. There are men who will stick a tile back on a roof, or fix a broken up and over garage door without imposing a huge call-out charge on you. It seemed a friendly sort of place to live.
The town centre has a good range of small shops for daily needs but not a place to “go shopping” for which Brighton or Eastbourne would be better. It’s a bit depressing to see the vast number of charity shops in the town centre, but there is a good range of other shops too and certainly you could survive quite happily only shopping in Bexhill.
Bexhill has an array of cheap Bed And Breakfast accommodation. Rooms can also be secured in one of the available Hotels or Guest houses that are abundent in this area. B&B accommodation is relatively inexpensive in this area and most bed and breakfasts have en-suite accommodation. A place to stay can also be easily found in surrounding areas. The standards are quite high with friendly hosts. You are normally offered either an English or continental breakfast. English breakfast would normally consist of eggs bacon sausage tomatoes and hash browns and toast with a selection of marmalade or jam to follow. Beverages would include tea, coffee and orange juice. Continental breakfast could include ham cheese croissants and a selection of jams and either tea or coffee. Normally there would also be a good selection of breakfast cereals. Bed and breakfast is maybe the cheapest accommodation option.
RyeSummer brings out the best of ancient and modern in this tranquil coastal town.
From Rye your almost in france but very much in the heart of england. You can amble through historic streets, shop at markets teeming with local produce and eat in friendly, reasonably priced local restaurants.
In fact Rye has so much going for it that people fall in love with it.
One of the ancient Cinque ports, it's less than two hours by train from london, but is far from being a commuter hot-spot as there is no direct link- travellers need to change at Ashford International .
Therefore Rye has managed to retain a tranquil, timeless feel.
It is also situated just 30 miles from Dover and the Channel Tunnel linking us to france.
The towns ancient and cobbled streets make it a perennial favourite with visitors, many of whome then look to move here.
Comedian Spike Milligan owned a house here... Carpenters with its own tennis courts and swimming pool.
Milligans house was built in 1967 Rye is famouse for its many older properties.
