Resting east of Newhaven and west of Eastbourne, Seaford quietly recounts the history of England's coastal life. The town played a significant role as a primary port in the Middle Ages, its fortunes ebbing and flowing with the tides of history, finally flourishing with the arrival of the railway in the 19th century. Today, Seaford entices with its carefully preserved Martello Tower turned museum and its vibrant sports scene, home to cricket and rugby clubs, golf courses, and a sailing club.

Infuse your walks with a bit of Seaford's history, navigating routes through former Roman camps and WWI and WWII military camps, uncover a piece of history at each step. Marvel at the exquisite architectural beauty of St Leonard's Church, St Luke's Church, and the Roman Catholic Church of St Thomas More, each one a testament to Seaford's rich religious heritage.

Respecting its past while embracing the future, Seaford continues its growth under its town council and the vigilant eye of its long-serving town crier, Peter White. Represented in the UK Parliament by Maria Caulfield, the town carries a proud legacy of seven Victoria Cross holders and a friendship with its twin town, Bönningstedt, Germany. For education, the Seaford Head School and several primary schools promote progressive learning, classically blending with the charm of this sleepy seaside town.

When to visit Seaford

Balmy summers with temperatures hovering around 22.3°C make July an ideal time to bask on Seaford's replenished beaches or take a dip in the cool, inviting waters. With fewer chances of significant rainfall, April, September, and March are perfect for outdoor activities. For snow-lovers, a visit in late March offers a unique view of a wintry Seaford, sprinkled with a light dusting of snow.

Tourism peaks during spring and summer, with comfortable temperatures and moderate rainfall creating the perfect conditions for daytime exploration and warm, cosy nights. Cooler winter months are quieter, offering a tranquil escape amidst lower temperatures and a chance to see Seaford under a soft, cinematic blanket of snow or rain. No matter when you visit, the allure of Seaford remains as captivating as ever.
