Eastbourne - The UK’s most Holiday-Friendly Town

Eastbourne is the UK’s most holiday-friendly area edging out competition from Manchester, Birmingham, The Cotswolds and Leeds, new research from Virgin Money Travel Insurance shows.
The East Sussex holiday destination, which holds the record for the highest recorded amount of sunshine in a single month in the UK, knocked south-coast rival Bournemouth off top spot having been rated top for holidaymakers looking for the best stay-at-home summer destination
If the hot summer does happen then Virgin Money research shows Eastbourne could be at the centre of the heat wave, having performed strongly in the analysis for weather. Eastbourne also outperformed many of its competitors on cost – making it ideal for holidaymakers on a budget – and scored highly in its number of hotels, attractions and restaurants, meaning that visitors should not be at a loss for things to do on their holiday.
Grant Bather of Virgin Money Travel Insurance said: “Everyone’s idea of a great holiday is different and the UK has plenty of great places to visit but this year it’s definitely Eastbourne for the all-round experience. For the classic seaside experience, Eastbourne wins hands down.”
