Spectacular flowering magnolia, The Close, Eastbourne
Behind the spectacular magnolia tree, in the centre of the photo, lies part of a line of yew trees, known as the Twelve Apostles. These trees were planted in the 15th century by the monks who lived in the nearby Benedictine Abbey. Reputedly a monk lies buried beneath each of the Twelve Apostles and that a curse linked to the trees means that anyone cutting one of them will soon die.

Following the Jubilee Way in Eastbourne [7]
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.
