Loading yesterday's tour took too long, so I am going to try a compromise and add 2 pics at a time and see how that works out.  Let me know which format you prefer, the long page, the one pic per post or this one I'm trying now with 2 pics per post.  Maybe we can reach a happy medium! lol

So tomorrow morning bright and early again (lots more to see and do) we are moving on to EAST SUSSEX starting with:-

HOVE - believe it or not this is the only pic of Hove on POE!! (at least that I could find, lol)

Despite the fact that it is a fun, colourful picture it doesn't tell us too much about Hove!  There is a Museum & Art Gallery in Hove and nearby Ditchling Beacon Hill Fort

Bit chilly isn't it for this time of year, lol.  Fantastic views from there.

Also fairly close to Hove is Newtimber Place built around 1567.  They have guided tours which you have to join if you wish to view this Place

Right next to Hove and both forming part of the new City of Brighton & Hove is of course Brighton, probably best known for the Royal Pavilion, there are also Regency Squares, The Lanes, now shops but originally 17th Century fisherman's cottages, Brighton Pier, St Peters Church & St Nicholas Church which are worth a visit
