Golden Cross is an ideal base from which to explore East Sussex with its many historic towns and beautiful beaches. This is a peaceful location, right on the edge of the beautiful South Downs and close to Glyndebourne, Lewes and Brighton.

If walking and cycling are your thing, then this area is for you. The coastal path at Pevensey will take you past Pevensey Castle to Bexhill and then back again via Herstmonceux Castle and Observatory. The Cuckoo Trail at Eastbourne is perfect for families because it rarely crosses a main road.

A visit to the Hungry Monk in Polegate won't disappoint - it's a charming restaurant and renowned for its food which is a fusion of traditional and contemporary.
