Nigel Greaves Gallery is a lovely art gallery with interesting and different pieces of art. The artist himself is very friendly and passionate about his work, which makes for an enjoyable visit.
The art of Nigel is gorgeous!! It is so different, but the most beautiful is to talk to him and listen the stories behind each painting.

In every art gallery you can find a treasure ,but in the angel Greaves art gallery the treasure the art is him, my family andi we're wowed with his art but when he came down to speak to us we were gobsmacked a master class in art and wisdom assailed us,I needed to record his gems ours wisdom and encouragement and it wasn't a show ,a master teacher and artist, I needed a chair. In the gallery is a quote 
"Art makes makes more sense of you've met the person who created it."
I'll never see art the same way again, he opened my not to just his art but art in general it was like having new eyes. Whatever state your in go see him, go see his art I guarantee you if he explains just one picture to you , you'll come out happy and changed and definitely wowed like my family 5 stars out of 5 easy.

Amazing art work by Nigel in this gallery situated in a nice location in Eastbourne. Nigel was there in the Studio when I visited today and it was such a pleasant experience to hear him talk about his works. He told about his techniques, his inspirations and experiences. Such an amazing experience to hear from the artist himself.

Well worth a visit. I loved looking around the gallery at Nigel’s work, some pieces really struck me and Nigel was happy to spend the time talking through his inspiration behind them. I loved the positivity, bright colours and use of texture in his paintings.

This gallery was absolutely stunning! I planned to go and have a quick look and then ended up looking at all these amazing works for at least 45 minutes!! What also made this experience so special was the artist himself. We had a great chat about his works, the story behind the art and we also talked about some inspiring quotes that he involved in his gallery. You should definitely visit if you’re interested in strong emotions in paintings and seeing a great variety of different styles, each one beautiful in its own way. One day I will come again all the way from Germany and buy one of these wonderful paintings. :)

I visited the Nigel Greaves Gallery a couple of days ago and was very impressed with his work. I thought it was interesting, innovative and reasonably priced. Personally, I found his work uplifting, an explosion of colour. I am very happy with my purchase.

What a fantastic experience, happened by this Gallery on our way to the Towner.
To be shown around by Nigel himself makes such a difference in understanding the depth of his work. Who doesn’t love reasonably priced original art. Will definitely be returning

Nigel's work was a bright spot on my rainy day in Eastbourne. I loved that all his works are originals and no prints are made. The stories he shared behind the paintings added that beautiful personal touch you don't get at other galleries. The love of his work shines thru each painting.

Lovely cheerful gallery with beautiful paintings run by the artist himself. It was a lovely visit, the kids enjoyed it and had the pleasure of Mr. Greaves describing the inspiration behind some of his paintings. Would definitely go back.

A friend and I visited Nigel Greaves Gallery when we were staying at the Grand Hotel.
Nigel's original land and seascapes are to say the least, amazing and his use of colour is spectacular, immediately uplifting and his paintings invoke a sense of light and possibility. This from someone who doesn't know anything really about art, except what I like or don't like. Will definitely be visiting again. Beth K

The Nigel Greaves Gallery was a lovely experience. I came by on Monday and the artist himself opened the door for me. He showed me around his work and explained to me what thoughts and ideas were behind some drawings. Any questions I had he would answer me. I had never met the artist to the paintings before so this was very special and I highly recommend trying it out yourself (free entry). It really does help you to understand the pictures better.

Magical tour into a talented Artists work.
Thank you for time today and your honest opinion of the damage to my friends watercolor.
It was my pleasure to meet you and to be given a small insight into your work.
The whole experience was magical. I'll definitely be back at some point as some of your pictures really resonated with me.
I've passed this creation onto my friend who adores JM too.

Vibrant intense colours in magnificent pieces of art, full of energy and emotion, we were honoured to be invited to view Nigel's art.

It's an absolutely beautiful place , I highly recommend it for everyone .
The path to a remarkable geological structure with precipices that provide scenic views of the ocean and an illuminating tower can be found along Beachy Head Rd. This rustic route offers a picturesque journey to the destination, showcasing natural landscapes and rugged terrain. Along the way, one can observe unique rock formations and impressive cliffsides that add to the allure of this excursion.

National Trust - Birling Gap and the Seven Sisters
Birling Gap is a breathtaking view point with access to the beach, and is located on the Seven Sisters chalk cliffs. The National Trust has an information centre here, which provides information about the area and its history.
What a marvelous view it is!
I won't forget the feeling forever that I breathed in and out here. It is totally different. It is like the first land where human was borned. It is an amazing experience to us. I really appreciate for National Trust to care here well.

It is too good to miss - you need to plan it accordingly and you can spend almost entire day there. The riding up to the light house (which is closed) is great - from where you can view the entire Seven Sisters - a mesmeric View altogether. And then when u go down - you can just lie down and soak the beauty over there. It is one of the best place to chill out in summers - it is well connected from Brighton and Eastbourne station and the coastal bus has its own charm. It is never a miss for anyone in UK

There is no proper public transport to this beautiful place . But there is a good road to reach. Beautiful scenic cliff. There is a restaurant and rest area which is open till 5 pm. Can go for picnic with family or spend time with your loved ones. The beach is also accessible from the top by stairs. Be careful with your toddler on the cliff. Have fun

Beautiful place. I suggest everyone to go there and admire the breathtaking panorama from the lighthouse and also to have a walk on the beach. There is a nice caffe if you want to eat or drink a coffee. There is parking facilities

Arrived at the cuckmere beach parking at 11:30 walked to Eastbourne and back and wow. An amazing walk with brilliant views, not too many people, especially on our way back. No one was walking after 4pm and the sun was shining, an incredible place.

we parked and paid 3£ for 2 hours. it is 5£ for the day. we arrived at 10am and found a spot in the park. First we walked uphill to the top cliff all the way to the lighthouse. it is a slow easy ascent. Great views 360. After walking back downhill to the cafe for a toilet break, we proceeded down a metal staircase to the shingle beach for breathtaking views of the seven sisters. a quick walk back up to the cafe for coffee before leaving. as we were leaving the crowds were piling in, many choosing to park on the road outside of the car park. this was a fantastic trip, well worth the hike to see that view.
Melissa — Google review
A beautiful spot and a beautiful beach. I can see why so many people have been visiting for so many years. The thing to come for is the beach on a nice day, the rest of the buildings and stuff aren't really anything to write home about, but the views are worth the trip.

This Birling Gape was easy to get to and a lovely view. Very large cliffs and lots of areas to walk. There were sheep on the fields nearby. There were also clear signs with details on high and low tide keeping us safe. The toilets were fine and it has a shop/cafe inside.
Renata Pereira — Google review
It was a beautiful experience and has to be seen once atleast... we didn't cover all the cliffs just one as was with small kids...
The view is simply breathtaking.
Toilets are available down before you can climb the cliff....
The beach is a pebble beach. Be cautious of the water as there can be hidden rocks which are not visible during a high tide.

Amazing place to see…
We unfortunately got caught in a massive downpour but still enjoyed seeing the true beauty of this place.
If possible on your visit Head down the stairs onto the pebble beach and look at the cliffs from that angle. Truly magnificent.
Serge Bega — Google review
Very nice hike, easy as well - with a few exceptions where it is a bit steeper.
My boyfriend and I did it for about 6h - we stopped for photos, lunch and ice cream .
The hike is very beautiful especially on a sunny day!
Definitely would recommend!

Fantastic views and walks. I have visited on very different days, from extreme wind and cold to warm and pleasant, yet I had a great experience each time. Still, I cannot believe how many people go close to the cliff edge despite the warnings about danger.
Verity — Google review
This is a lovely view point with direct access to the beach.
There is a car park here, albeit small, and I can imagine during peak times there would be difficulty parking as this is also a very popular tourist attraction.
The roads around here are beautiful and provide lovely views.
There is also the opportunity for a walk along the tops of the cliffs.

Really nice place to spend time with family. It’s got the beach and you can climb up the mountain too. There’s a nice little cafe and small souvenir store. I would give one extra star to the Elderly Gentleman from the National Trust who helped me sorting out my travel by being really patient and suggesting me which transport to take. If your like me without a car you can hire a cab but the telephone reception is really bad so you need to come to the bus stop to make any calls. I would say prebook and be on time or you can check the bus schedule. And there’s parking too.

Beautiful views of the seven sisters. A national trust shop and cafe. Cliffs near by are crumbling and being monitored.. the sea here is wonderfully clear water.. free car park to national trust members. Cliff top walks for miles in both directions
Linda — Google review
It was a cool experience. Views are cool and a hike would likely be great here for those interested. Would have been fun would go back if I could guarantee sunshine (is that a thing in the UK?).
I'd recommend n hike up the cliffs rather than a walk on the beach as the rocks make a beach trek really rough.
Bring your own lunch or snacks. The cafe leaves a lot to be desired. However, The staff was kind and welcoming.
Bus lines and pick ups were a bit delayed and the signage for where to go on your way back to Brighton is unclear at best.

Lovely spot to get the overall view of Seven Sisters white cliffs. The possible walks are in good distance, not too long or tough. People at the visitor centre are very nice and helpful. There's a cafe there to relax for when the weather outside is not very good.

Such a beautiful place to visit, definitely great to walk and appreciate the nature and the view. It is a place you can go and feel how small we are as humans.
I strongly recommend to go - but definitely take some water and maybe some food with you and toilet paper. When you are at the coffee part (tourist stop) the food is not so good and the toilet is not always prepared.

Such a fantastic and wonderful place to have a day out. So fortunate to be able come here not too far from here. Alot of history, great walking trails and fantastic cafe. Kids love the rock pooling. Sounding views are amazing. Came on a Sunday great weather very busy but not off putting. Even had a Spitfire fly over even did a few laps. Just Brilliant.
(All creatures caught were returned safely to rock pools 🦀 🐟 🐠 🎣)

Great view of the Seven Sisters, you can walk up the hill and get a view looking down or you can take the stairs and go down onto the beach itself. I didn't use the cafe or facilities, but the seven sisters themselves were a really great view.
Julia Damtoft — Google review
Great facilities, superb views and if you time it right you can safely get down to the beach. Can be very busy in the warmer seasons, but if you walk only a short distance away it gets a lot quieter as most people don’t do the full hike. It suffers coastal erosion so it won’t be here forever.

The Seven Sisters offers breathtaking views and serene landscapes, perfect for nature lovers and photographers. Well-maintained trails make exploring enjoyable. A must-visit destination!

I live locally and love coming here. It's glorious in any weather. If you're a member of the National Trust, it's free to park (remember to scan your card though). There's a good cafe and a NT shop. Loos are available as well. The car park can get pretty busy, especially in summer on weekends, so bare that in mind. There are some steps to take you down to the beach and they display high tide and low tide times each day, so please pay attention to these if you intend to walk along the beach. It's a great spot to park and go for longer walks over the top of the cliffs as well. I've attached some pics of a few of my visits.

Such a busy lovely place deserves better visitor facilities from the National Trust.
We visited on Easter Sunday 2024.
The cafe layout seemed to have changed since our last visit and there were long queues for everything. For the cafe, for the ice cream and longest of all for the toilets.
The cafe is now part self service with people picking up pastries by hand and sometimes returning them whilst queuing. No trays available but a basic selection of pasties etc. Enjoyable and the staff were friendly and doing their best in a very busy environment.
They really do need to sort out the toilets though, my partner had to queue for about 20 minutes. Need some bins outside too for all the ice cream and lollipop packaging sold by the permanent van outside the cafe.
The gift shop is large and looks to be spared no attention but might be better using some of the space to extend the seating available for the cafe.
The actual place itself is a wonderful starting point to explore the Seven Sisters from or to walk up to Beachy Head from, or when conditions allow to step down to the beach to take a swim.

Fabulous views of the cliffs, plenty of parking and a lovely National Trust cafe, visitor centre and shop. You can get down to the beach and also walk along the cliff up to the lighthouse. Definitely worth a visit.

Would recommend coming here in good weather or sunny days. The scenery was so beautiful but the weather was not so ideal. Sudden strong wind and heavy rain made everyone so wet. You can have coffee or some snack, brunch at the cafe, wifi provided. Only wifi in the shop and cafe, there’s no signal outside.

Amazing weather with beauty of nature. It’s really unbelievable. It’s easy to get parking but we need to pay. It’s good place for family especially in summer time. Whoever is going please don’t throw the plastic bags.
Eastbourne Miniature Steam Railway is a miniature railway in Eastbourne, England, with 10 different steam and diesel locomotives that pull your carriage along a 1/8 scale mile long track. The park also has a five-acre lake encircled by a nature trail offering glimpses of native wildlife.
A lovely little place located in the outskirts of Eastbourne. Nestled away behind a golf course this quint place offers a substantial miniature railway set around a large fishing pond. There’s plenty of parking and ticket prices includes 1 trip ok the steam train. Further trips can be purchased for reasonable prices. Under 3’s go free so for a family of 5 (including an under 3) you still get change for under £30.
Inside is a large seating area with various playgrounds set around the fishing pond. Two trains were running every couple of minutes when we visited which means ques are kept to a minimum. A cafe is available for hot and cold foods as well as a gift shop with all things train related. There are several small railway displays which you can operating for 20p which keeps the kids interested. The highlight is the train journey which snakes around the pond, though tunnels and Over bridges. There’s plenty of chances for waving to passers by and the kids loved the steam. Overall a good day out and well priced for what you get. Worth a visit if your into trains

Excellent day out! Lots to do for kids, the train ride is fantastic. Lots of play areas and picnic areas. Great value for money. We are definitely considering getting the annual pass. Can't wait to visit again.

We've held membership here for years and I consider it to be the best value half day out for kids under 10 anywhere in Sussex.
As well as the trains there are 4 separate play areas (one for under 4s only), a hedge maze, a lakeside walk, a 'fossil cave', and now miniature golf - all of which are free and included in your admission price.

Amazing it is at least. You can ride a mini real steam train smealing coal it so realistic unbelievable. And a grate part of national pioneering (steam trains) the top from that era. Educational for the kids and a lot of entertainment for kids. I am impressed

Tucked away beside the golf club is EMSR. Large car-park directly outside. There is a single track miniature railway that circles the lake. A decent length but you do only get one ride on admission. Extra rides are charged. There is also a hedge maze, a gnome garden, some water features and a walk that follows the same path as the railway.
Ian Fry — Google review
A lovely day out in the fresh air. Plenty of play areas and interesting, quirky things to enjoy like the gnome garden which is adorable. Lots of picnic tables too. We had eaten before we went so didn't try anything from the cafe apart from an ice lolly and I was impressed that the price charged was quite reasonable.
The train travels faster than expected and it was really fun even if going into the very low tunnel with the shadows and my sunglasses making it impossible to see if my head was clear was terrifying. I am only 5' 4" and I didn't have much clearance and it comes up on you very suddenly with no warning.
I do think the entrance price is expensive for just a 5 minute train ride but they clearly care for and upkeep the surroundings very well indeed and I guess that costs money. A little oasis of peace and quiet.

This place is top-notch!! What a delightful few hours we spent here. We, as an OAP couple were 12 year-olds again!! Walked around the estate twice, went on the train numerous times. Had a cream-tea. An ice-cream & copious amount of fun.
Friendly staff, fantastic location, well laid out. A joyous day.

This is one of the biggest miniature railway attractions that we have been to. Probably most attractive to under 10s, this attraction has scenic and well-kept grounds beyond the train rides. Nice for half a day of picnics and walks.
CD — Google review
Great day out for young children, would say not much for plus 11 year olds. My 3 y/o and 10 y/o had a great day, the price for entry includes one ride of the train which is reasonably priced. The train is great, the loop takes around 7 minutes so it is quite short but you can buy more rides for a few pounds. The other attractions include a good playground for older kids and separate ones for toddlers, maze, water gardens, nature walk and a small cabinet miniature railway. Only one cafe but picnics are allowed, cafe was nothing amazing but very well priced considering they had a captive audience. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed the few hours there.
