From an area that has been cleared of diseased trees, Eastbourne and the coast is seen over the rooftops of the houses of Old Mansion Close. The Jubilee Way runs along the 300-foot contour of the wooded slopes of the South Downs escarpment overlooking Eastbourne. Some 6 miles long, the path runs from Willingdon through meadows and woodland to Eastbourne seafront. The path was named the Jubilee Way in 1977 in celebration of the Queen’s Silver Jubilee. Ash dieback disease has decimated the area.
