Kim Adams has a background in social history and trained as a tour guide in 2006. Join him to find out how Eastbourne became "the Empress of Watering Places" thanks to the coming of the railways and the benevolence of the Dukes of Devonshire, and about the many famous (and infamous) people who have lived here.
The Promenade Walk starts outside the Lifeboat Museum (BN21 4BY). We walk along the main promenade to the pier and then back along the seafront promenade to the Grand Hotel. Hear about the development of Eastbourne as a resort built "by gentlemen, for gentlemen". Visit the pier, the bandstand and the Wish Tower and find out about many of the famous people who have lived here in Eastbourne.
Enjoy a leisurely walk around the Meads area of Eastbourne, "where the Downs meet the sea". Includes the Italian Gardens, St John's Church, Meads Village and the wonderful mansion houses nestling at the foot of the South Downs. Find out about some of the famous local residents and hear the story of the notorious Dr John Bodkin Adams. The walk starts at the thatched tea-chalet in The Helen Garden (Dukes Drive, BN20 7XL, next to Bede's School).
Guided walks along Eastbourne Promenade can be booked on any day of the week, subject to the current Covid-19 restrictions. Tours last about 75 minutes and cost £7.50 per person. Minimum of 2 people, maximum of 5 people.

The 'turn up and go' guided walks along Eastbourne seafront on Sunday mornings are not happening at the moment due to Covid-19 restrictions.
I will not be doing any of the regular, 'Historic Meads' walks until the Covid-19 restrictions end but, hopefully, they will return later in 2021.

I've recently written a booklet called "A guide to historic Meads" based on this walk, with some additional historical information and some wonderful photographs taken by Richard Drinkall. You can use the booklet (which includes a map) as a walking guide or enjoy the information from the comfort of your armchair. The 40-page A5 booklet costs £5 and is available from Meads Community Association using the following link:

All proceeds go to the work of the Meads Community Association.
By arrangement, walks can start at your hotel or anywhere along the seafront. £7.50 per person, minimum of 2 people.
The walks can be made wheelchair-friendly and step-free if required, just let me know when you book.
Your walk can start and/or finish at one of Eastbourne's excellent local pubs or tea-shops....just ask!

Choose between the Eastbourne Promenade Walk and the Historic Meads Walk or ask for a combination of the two to suit your interests and the time you have.
Special walks can be arranged for language students as part of their studies.
You can give a Guided Walk as a gift, e.g. for a birthday or for Mother's Day, Father's Day or an anniversary. Contact me for details.
I am happy to provide free walks for local charities and community groups and you are welcome to do a collection at the end of the walk to raise money for your funds.
If you're organising a group visit to Eastbourne please contact me and ask about how I can provide a great introduction to your visit by doing a guided tour from your coach. All the key elements of the Seafront and Meads tours plus a drive up to Beachy Head and/or Birling Gap with an optional stop for refreshments. Longer tours also possible - please ask!
