I still remember the day; it was late September 2007. I had just moved to the UK for my new crazy adventure as an Au Pair (at age 30!); as you can see, it’s never too late to start over again!
I was hosted by a lovely Lady in a beautiful house surrounded by nature in the countryside, located just between London and Brighton. In my first week, my host mom took me on a road trip to show me the beauty of the UK South Coast, and since then, I’ve been blown away by its wild beauty!
My absolute favorite was our visit to Eastbourne to admire the famous White Cliffs. I hadn’t seen anything like that before in my life. Breath-taking!But the South of England has plenty of other places to discover, and in this guide, I want to show you my Top 5 favorites, with all the information you need to plan your holiday, including what to do and where to stay!

Brighton is a vibrant lively city, with the relaxing charm of the sea. Being popular amongst tourists, Brighton and its surroundings have many interesting and fun things to offer (I still remember tasting my first fish and chips ever, admiring the sunset on the pier!)
THINGS TO DO IN BRIGHTON
Brighton Pier
One of the main attractions in Brighton, this pier offers an amazing walk with numerous food stalls and little vendors along the way. It also has a Palace of Fun arcade, where you can enjoy some rides with your kids, or even if you just want to feel like a kid again.You can also watch the beautiful sunset from the pier while having a bite to eat or a classy glass of wine.
Chocolate Ecstasy Tours
I mean, who doesn’t like some chocolate now and then? It is as amazing as it sounds. Meeting at a specific location, the tour starts by visiting special and innovative chocolate boutiques. All create their unique luxurious flavors, and you can taste them all.A sweet tour indeed!
The Open Market
After a massive redevelopment in 2014, this market now hosts the 50 top creators and producers in Brighton. You can get anything from nutritious foods and products to some locally designed fashion, crafts, jewelry, and furniture. So if you are just looking to browse through some creative goods or feeling like a healthy meal, this market is definitely for you.
Yellowave Beach Sports Venue
Still somewhat of a local’s secret, this sports area is located on Brighton beachfront. You can hire a court to play some beach volleyball, football or rugby. If you are not really into the sports scene, you can relax on the sun deck of the infamousBarefoot Café and grab a cold drink or a bite to eat.
WHERE TO STAY IN BRIGHTON

Another option would be to take the bus. The bus takes longer than the train but is clean and comfortable with onboard toilets. The fastest trip would be to catch the bus from London Victoria Coach Station. It will take about 2 hours and 15 minutes.
Eastbourne is a large town and seaside resort on the south coast of England. It lies about 17 miles (27 km) east of Brighton. Being a seaside resort, it has many sights and tourist attractions.
THINGS TO DO IN EASTBOURNE
East Sussex Falconry
This is one of the best ways to experience these magnificent birds of prey. The setting is stunning as you watch the falcons soar through the sky. The owner and falconer is very passionate, and he has spent his life dedicated to the birds. A great day to discover all about these raptors!
Birling Gap
A coastal hamlet is situated on the Seven Sisters. Amazing view and quite an adventure. Climb down to the enclosed pebble beach via the large metal steps. There are some shops, cafes and a visitor centre. During the winter, the waves will be crashing against the cliffs, but as summer comes along, the sea quiets down, and you can move on down to the beach. Very picturesque landscape. For more info, clickhere!
Beachy Head
This is the number one thing to see when visiting Eastbourne. Beachy Headis the highest chalk cliff in Britain, an astonishing 531 feet. Being so high, it offers stunning views of the southeast coast. Looking west, you can see Selsey Bill and Dungeness in the east. One of my best memories of England so far. I couldn’t believe what my eyes had witnessed! Not a surprise it’s the N.1 Attraction by Tripadvisor!
Eastbourne Bandstand
One of the coolest bandstands in the UK. It was built in 1935 and still hosts up to 150 shows annually. It has a unique circular design with a blue domed roof. The arena can seat around 1600 people, with the main area, upper area, balconies, and seats. Worth a visit when around Eastbourne.

Your kids will leave this place exhausted from all the fun and entertainment. On rainy days, there is an indoor play area with picnic tables and lots to keep the kids busy.
Visit Durdle Door Beach
Located in Dorset, Durdle Door and its famous arch and beach are one of the most popular spots on the South England Coast! Loved by photographers, the arch at the end of the beach, eroded by time and natural elements, is simply magnificent. Enjoy your day at the beach and visit the nearby Lulworth Castle Wareham (15 min by car). Great to visit in high and in low season!
Sandbanks Beach
Rated in the Top 10 Beaches in the UK by TripAdvisor users (check out my article listing the other 9!), this beach is truly stunning. Looking around, it is not surprising that it is some of the most expensive real estate on this planet. With amazing views and facilities, this beach has been dubbed “Britain’s Palm Beach” by national media. Definitely worth the visit when you are in the area.
Brownsea Island
Formerly a private island, Brownsea Island has its castle built by Henry George VIII. It is now a wildlife sanctuary and inhabited by one of Britain’s last red squirrel colonies. Great for a family day out, or even if you just want to relax and enjoy nature. There are cottages on the island if you would like to spend a few nights and an amazing café to grab something to eat.

Le Vignoble
If you are a wine connoisseur or just keen to taste some delicious wines, this is definitely for you. Le Vignoble is a Wine Lounge in the Royal William Yard in Plymouth. It always has some great special going and the staff are very informative about the wines. They also offer a wide array of cheese to accompany the wine.
Plymouth Hoe
A massive open space adjacent to and above the low-hanging limestone cliffs. It grants views of Drake’s Islandand Plymouth Sound. Great for a day out for exploring local history. It has so much to offer and has many pubs and restaurants to enjoy a drink or a bite to eat. Also great for walking and paying a visit to the lovely nearby lighthouse.
Burrator Reservoir
Feeling like a nice relaxing stroll with amazing scenery? Burrator Reservoir offers all of this and more. Beautiful for hiking, biking, or just taking out the kids. Lots of parking and a few minutes of walking can get you into picturesque woodlands. Silence is only broken by birds and the sound of running water. Great place to just get away and blow off some steam. Check the official website for opening times and more infohere!
Live Escape Rooms
This is one of the most interesting and fun concepts for entertainment ever. Being locked in a room, you’ll have to search for clues and solve puzzles to escape imprisonment. Best to do in groups of friends or foes… this requires teamwork as you race the clock from room to room, solving the puzzles and following the clues. Note to self: I HAVE to try this!! Check out their official website to have more info and book the experience!
WHERE TO STAY IN PLYMOUTH
BORINGDON HALL HOTEL
Situated on the edge of the idyllic Dartmoor National Park and just five minutes from Plymouth, the 4-star Boringdon Hall Hotel features fantastic historic interiors and elegant rooms.
Situated in the prestigious Royal William Yard, the Plymouth Serviced Apartments offer excellent self-catering accommodation with free WiFi and river views. Really an awesome place!

One of the oldest cities in the UK, Portsmouth offers lots of activities for tourists. Jam-packed with museums and historical landmarks makes Portsmouth one of the must-see places when visiting the UK.
THINGS TO DO IN PORTSMOUTH
Portsmouth Historic Dockyard
If you love history and ships, this is definitely for you. Even if you do not, it is still quite amazing to see. The dockyard offers numerous day trips, which include boat trips that explore the whole harbor and a trip to the submarine museum in Gosport. The ticket prices are pretty expensive if you book them individually, so I recommend buying an all-access pass. You also get to walk inside the old ships, looking through the windows and exploring the rooms.
Blue Reef Aquarium
Want to experience some aquatic life in the UK? Blue Reef Aquarium, overlooking the Solent, takes its visitors on an underwater adventure. Explore the variety ranging from British waters to the more colorful tropical waters. The aquarium’s main attraction is the massive tropical tank, which even has its underwater walk-through, where you can observe sharks and stingrays closely. Check out their official website for opening info and prices here!
Hovertravel
Ever wanted to ride a hovercraft? Still one of the coolest and most exciting ways to travel if you ask me. Hovertravel is the only scheduled hovercraft operator in Europe. You can use their services to get to the famous Isle of Wight in a 10-minute ride.It is the quickest way to travel to the Isle of Wight and an experience not to be missed as there are some beautiful beaches to explore or visit the Isle of Wight zoo. Check out the official website for more info: Fares from 15£
Spinnaker Tower
Definitely one of the must-see attractions when visiting Portsmouth. Its sail-like design makes it unique, and it is very difficult to miss when you are around the harbor. You have to pay a small fee to go to the top, where you can experience the glass Sky Walk (not recommended if you are not a fan of heights). Right at the top is an open-air deck where you can enjoy the fresh cool ocean breeze. Check out their website for opening time and info: Fares from 9.50£
WHERE TO STAY IN PORTSMOUTH
PREMIER INN HOTEL

So, guys! I hope you found this guide useful for planning your Holiday in the beauty of Southern England! Let me know if I left any of your favorite places out or some missing info by leaving a comment below! 🙂
Oh my God. Look at these picturesss. I am literally dying right now to visit all these beautiful holiday spots. I wonder why have I not visited these before. Currently I am in England and I am definitely visiting these spots this weekend.
A really nice guide & detailed guide. Thanks for providing all the information at one place. Instead of browsing other websites for hotels & transportation, this article is very helpful. Great job.
Thanks for the descriptive information; spurred my husband and I to take a drive to Eastbourne. Cant wait to see the white cliffs amd also have a delicious fish and chips
Hey Mel, you are going to LOVE Eastbourne! I’ve seen so many places in my life but I remember my jaw dropping expression when I saw that beautiful view! Enjoy 🙂
Thank you for this post.
i am chinese, and this year i will go to UK study in sep.
could u tell me Eastbourne and Bournemouth what is the difference ?which is best?
cause i just have one mouth vacation,i just can choose one place.
thankyou.
Hey Samantha! Thanks for stopping by! Eastbourne and Bournemouth are both beautiful destinations but If I had to choose only one, I’d be in trouble as I like them both! I’d first go to Bournemouth for the variety of things you can do (Durdle door is awesome and you can go on a day trip in there and also reach London in 2 hours by train) The countryside is lovely in there too. Eastbourne is closer to London (a little more than 1 hour by train) and the white cliffs are to die for but the town itself is pretty quiet except for the seafront area where you can find nice restaurants, the pier to watch the sunset and eat some fish and chips 🙂
Difficult decision, really!Too bad you can only choose one place… So let’s put it this way, if you want to also visit London frequently during your month in the UK… I’d go with Eastbourne. If you want a more relaxing adventure, then Bournemouth is better for you!
Great post, with a lot of travel inspirations. Dorset is a great location, I visited it in 2013 and it reminded me of the Mediterranean. Durdle Door is another spot definitely worth to visit, people couldn’t believe from the picture that it was UK. There’s such diversity of landscapes in England!
Hey Milena, I can’t believe I actually didn’t mention Durdle Door in the guide! Shame on me, that place is simply jaw-dropping and if you are into photography, going in there at sunrise you can take an incredible shot with the sun perfectly aligned inside the arch. Stunning! Thanks for the reminder and I will definitely add it to the list, people will LOVE it, I’m 100% sure. England, as you said has so much to offer in terms of beautiful landscapes. Most of the people traveling to the UK base their vacations around London and it’s such a shame because even if London is a must (of course) but they are missing out on other incredible gems!
I also explored these all alluring destinations during my last journey and have a joyful time with my mates. In my point of view these all places are the best ways to have great fun in England. I hope you will fully enjoy there like I enjoyed.
Thank you for this kind of a thorough list! I’m going to London for the first period next weekend break. With one totally free day I now have various choices to pick for my day journey from London.

Thank you for this post. I’ve been looking for something to do this Sunday and because of your post I’m going to see the Eastbourne White Cliffs. They look stunning!
Great post! I really want in one day, I can travel to South Uk and visit Portsmouth Area. This place is really attractive and beautiful. Thanks for marvelous sharing and cheer!
Stopped here from a river cruise for an hour and a half. Classed as a World Heritage site, it’s steeped with history, and beautiful buildings like the Benedictine Abbey, the Old City Hall with it’s torture chamber, and lovely cobbled lane ways. Wish we had more time to explore.
It’s always like that, we all wish we had more time to explore! I’m going back to the UK (London now) for a mini break in May and I wish i could stay more and visit some more amazing sites!
The index is really helpful. I love how you edit the post, it looks so organized and amazing! And the content and photos are much more amazing! Thanks for the detailed and lovely post! I’d choose the Blue Reef Aquarium above all.
I’m glad to see that Brighton is on the list. I went there on a day trip a couple of years ago and I have very fond memories of that place and I often look back at my pictures from there. I definitely want to go there again soon. The UK has some amazing places to visit.
I agree with you Zascha! The UK has so much to offer! The only downside of it is the weather, but still, the landscapes make it up for the rest! I’ve been to Brighton many times and It’s certainly fascinating, but my favorite still remains Eastbourne, damn those white cliffs are so surreal!!!
This is such a thorough information of what to see in the South of UK. I visited London, UK for the first time in 2011 and last year 2014 I was meant to go back to UK after being back in Europe for the 3rd time again. I had anticipated to explore the rest of UK but unfortunately my travel itinerary had to be changed while I was back in Europe last year. I had to fly back to Australia and New Zealand, which I am currently based until next year. I’m hoping to return to Europe again, explore UK more and perhaps find my temporary home base either in Greece, Italy, Spain or France. I’ve been to those countries a few times in previous travels but also thinking of moving to the UK, Switzerland or Germany. So much options to choose from.
I’ve heard lots of good things about Brighton and I really can’t wait to explore the city. 🙂
Just discovered your blog and have so far enjoyed experiencing your travels through reading your blog. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the comment Fashion Girl (I’m not that much into fashion anymore but I can see you also love traveling!). The UK is a very good place to move to, I even wrote a comprehensive guide about it and I hope you can return to England and enjoy some good views!
Cheers!
Yes the South coast of England is actually pretty awesome, I think I’m going to write a second article as there are also other areas like Cornwall that are quite amazing!
