Places to stay in Birling Gap, East Sussex

East Dean and Friston is a civil parish in the Wealden District of East Sussex.The two villages in the parish are in a dry valley on the South Downs – between Eastbourne three miles (4.8 km) to the east and Seaford an equal distance to the west. The main A259 road goes through both village centres. The coast and much of the land between it and the A259 from the east edge of Seaford to the west edge of Eastbourne is owned by the National Trust, and this has prevented further development to the area. The civil parish was formed on 1 April 1999 from "East Dean" and "Friston" parishes. Places to eat in the region include Birling Gap Café - The National Trust, The Beehive On The Green, Grimaldi Restaurant, and The Beachy Head.
