Flower Delivery to Eastbourne by Clare Florist

The seaside town of Eastbourne sits along Britain's beautiful south coast in the county of East Sussex. Eastbourne can easily be reached by train from London, Hastings, Ashford and Brighton and by car from London via the A22.

Eastbourne has evidence of Stone Age and Roman settlements as well as a charter dating from Anglo Saxon times. It was still an area made up of a few small hamlets in the Georgian Era when it became popular as a seaside resort. It wasn't really developed into a town until the age of Queen Victoria when it became one of the UK's most popular seaside retreats. The town is made up of Victorian buildings many of which house hotels and B&B's. Most visitors frequent the pebbled blue flag beaches and the promenade which boasts the fabulous Carpet Gardens where one can experience a floral spectacle.

The locals take flowers seriously in Eastbourne which won the Britain in Bloom Coastal Resort B category in 2003. Despite an abundance of flowers residents can still arrange Eastbourne flower delivery to friends and family. Like many towns which were built up in the Victorian era there are many green spaces in the town including Hampden Park, Gildredge Park and the Italian Gardens.

Further town highlights include the Eastbourne Redoubt, a 19th century fortress, Beachy Head and of course the pier. Eastbourne has a thriving theatre scene and visitors can choose from a number of Grade II Listed venues including the Devonshire Park Theatre and the Congress Theatre. The fresh sea air of Eastbourne has long been considered restorative to health and as well as a number of independent schools choosing to set up shop here many famous names have visited the town. This includes Charles Dickens, Karl Mark and Frederick Engels.

The town is also overlooked by the stunning South Downs, the UK's newest addition to its National Parks Portfolio. Access on foot to the South Downs can be made from Beachy Head.
