East Sussex Hotel map and travel info

Getting there

Planes, trains or automobiles – we show you the best way to go to East Sussex

Planes
Gatwick (www.gatwickairport.com) is the best of the region’s airports, 30 miles north of Brighton on the M23; the train takes half an hour from there. Heathrow and Luton are also handy, with fast transport connections.
Trains
Brighton has great national rail links, with direct services to London Victoria, Reading, Bath and Bristol, among others. Elsewhere, East Sussex is not as well served: the journey to Rye via Ashford takes two hours.
Automobiles
Brighton can be reached via the M23, although parking can be costly and you don’t need a car if you plan to stay anchored in the city. You’ll want one to explore the more rural parts of East Sussex, though.
