With South Downs National Park on our doorstep a wellness break to Eastbourne wouldn’t be complete without a walk across the South Downs.

Shinrin Yoku, the Japanese art of forest bathing, is an effective way to reduce stress, alleviate anxiety and invite a feeling of calm. Simply put, forest bathing is taking the time for a leisurely walk through forests and wooded areas, soaking up your surroundings and staying in the present moment. Head to Hampden Park, Friston Forest and Abbots Wood to practise Shinrin Yoku during your visit to Eastbourne.
Nothing says wellness like the soothing sounds of the sea, and in Eastbourne we’ve got that in abundance. Whether it’s a stroll along the seafront or taking a good book down to the beach for a few hours, let the feeling of relaxation wash over you as you listen to the waves lapping against the shore.
One of only 16 International Dark Sky Reserves in the world, South Downs National Park is the perfect place to gaze at the stars. With stargazing at it’s best before a full moon, wrap up warm, grab a blanket, pack a flask of tea and lay back to watch the constellations unfold above you. For the darkest skies, head to Birling Gap.
Top tip: Download a free stargazing app before you go to identify the stars above you!
