We embark on a nostalgic journey aboard the Bluebell Steam Railway this morning, immersed in the picturesque landscapes of Sussex. This railway stands as one of the country's pioneering preserved heritage lines, transporting passengers back in time with its meticulously restored Victorian-era coaches and locomotives. Its rich history and charm have earned it screen time in popular TV shows and movies like Downton Abbey and Churchill's Secret.

Our stop is Sheffield Park Station, visiting the National Trust's Sheffield Park Garden. Recognised internationally, the Grade I listed gardens stretch across vast acres, showcasing the artistry of landscape design influenced by 'Capability' Brown. As you wander, take in the views of the four distinct lakes, meander through captivating woodland trails, and marvel at the vibrant displays of rhododendrons and azaleas. We then return to Eastbourne.

This popular seaside resort is bursting with attractions, such as the extravagant pavilion and gorgeous pebbled beach.
