Unearthing Stories from the Past trail
Discover stories from the last 5000 years and explore the artefacts found in Eastbourne and Willingdon as you walk through and over the archaeology that tells us about life in Eastbourne as a Downland settlement. The walk is reasonably flat but is over open Downland so is more challenging at different stages.

Changing Chalk: connecting nature, people and heritage
Working in partnership to connect nature, people and heritage for the future of the Downs
Changing Chalk is a partnership of organisations supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund working together for the future of the South Downs. Through this project, we are reversing the decline of the fragile chalk grassland, and connecting local communities to the nationally significant landscape on their doorstep. Led by the National Trust, the partnership connects nature, people and heritage. It is restoring lost landscapes and habitats, bringing history to life and offering new experiences in the outdoors.
