Take a moment to relax, recharge and focus on your wellness, you deserve it! Read on for some of our favourite ways to recharge your mind, body and soul in Eastbourne.
Get back to nature…
With South Downs National Park on our doorstep a wellness break to Eastbourne wouldn’t be complete without a walk across the South Downs. Whether it’s to marvel at the spectacular white chalk cliffs, spot the infamous red and white striped lighthouse at Beachy Head or follow the River Cuckmere as it meanders to the sea, let the fresh air and open spaces soothe you.
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.
