Eastbourne (pronunciation) is a large town, seaside resort, and borough in the non-metropolitan county of East Sussex on the south coast of England, 19 miles (31km) east of Brighton. Eastbourne is immediately to the east of Beachy Head, the highest chalk sea cliff in Great Britain. With a seafront consisting largely of Victorian hotels, a pier, and a Napoleonic era fort and military museum, Eastbourne was developed by the Duke of Devonshire from 1859 from four separate hamlets. It has a growing population, a broad economic base, and is home to companies in a wide range of industries.
Though Eastbourne is a relatively new town, there is evidence of human occupation in the area from the Stone Age. The town grew as a fashionable tourist resort largely thanks to prominent landowner, William Cavendish, later to become the Duke of Devonshire. Cavendish appointed architect Henry Currey to design a street plan for the town, but not before sending him to Europe to draw inspiration. The resulting mix of architecture is typically Victorian and remains a key feature of Eastbourne.
Before 1990 almost always a safe Conservative seat, and with larger borders, Eastbourne since 1983 has been narrowed to the town and its immediate outskirts, primarily in the South Downs National Park. The town is towards the edge of the reasonable London Commuter Belt and is a coastal resort town that has had only marginal majorities following the 1990 by-election between the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats for many years. A Liberal Democrat gained the seat at the 2010 general election, in an election which saw the 6th lowest Labour share of the vote of the 631 candidates who stood at the election, on 4.8%.
Boundaries
The constituency comprises all nine electoral wards of Eastbourne Borough, as well as the wards of Willingdon and Wannock in the Wealden district.

Cafés and ice cream parlors offer respite from the sea breeze, while the enticing aroma of fish and chips wafts through the air.
Eastbourne beach itself is a unique experience. Instead of soft, golden sands, it's a tapestry of smooth pebbles that crunch satisfyingly underfoot. While it might not be ideal for sunbathing, it's perfect for exploring, building intricate pebble towers, or simply enjoying the therapeutic sound of the waves. The pier, a classic Victorian structure, juts out into the sea, offering panoramic views of the coastline. It's a popular spot for fishing, arcade games, and simply soaking up the atmosphere.
Beyond the seafront, Eastbourne reveals its multifaceted character. Beachy Head, a dramatic chalk headland, stands as a sentinel over the town. Its sheer white cliffs, sculpted by wind and waves, are a breathtaking sight. A walk along the South Downs Way, which passes through the area, offers stunning coastal views and the chance to spot an array of wildlife.
For those seeking cultural pursuits, Eastbourne has much to offer. The Towner Art Gallery is a contemporary art hub, showcasing thought-provoking exhibitions that challenge and inspire. The Devonshire Park Theatre hosts a diverse program of performances, from classic plays to modern musicals.
Fancy a show? Then check out Eastbourne Bandstand on the promenade that hosts over 100 music concerts and events each year
History buffs will appreciate the Redoubt Fortress, a well-preserved 19th-century fortification that offers a glimpse into the town's past. And for a family-friendly outing, the Eastbourne Miniature Steam Railway is a delightful journey through miniature landscapes.
Whether you're seeking relaxation, adventure, or cultural enrichment, Eastbourne has something to offer. It's a place where time seems to slow down, allowing visitors to unwind and appreciate the simple pleasures of seaside life.
