Wonderful Waters of the South East
In, on, over or under the water, the seaside, rivers and lakes of South East England offer a sense of adventure.
Experience the thrill of the South East waters and try your hand at the many activities on offer. Windsurfing, water-skiing, surfing, jet-skiing and kite-surfing are all the go providing a challenge for enthusiasts of all ages and an easy introduction for new-comers.
Enjoy stunning scenery and panoramic views such as the awesome cliffs of the Seven Sisters or Beachy Head which add a dash of drama to the challenge of long distance walks and cycle paths along the coast.
The coastline of the South East is steeped in maritime heritage with two key historic dockyards, Chatham, the birthplace of many of Britain's finest ships and Portsmouth, where you can board the HMS Victory.
How about staying along the coast for views you can't beat. The Hythe Imperial, Kent is a beautiful Victorian grand hotel that overlooks the English Channel; The Grand Hotel, Eastbourne is prominently situated on the seafront and is a haven for visitors to the South coast; Bourne Hall Country House Hotel & Restaurant on the Isle of Wight is a beautiful country house set in mature gardens overlooking the bay.
Events which are on offer in the South East are not to be missed. The Henley Royal Regatta on the 29th June, The International Festival of the Sea in Portsmouth on the 30th June, Hampshire's Water Festival on the 13th August and many more.
