Railways in the Garden of England

"Those Victorians knew their stuff didn't they! In the pursuit of sun and health they developed the resorts of Brighton, Eastbourne and Hastings, each different in feel but all still magnets for holidaymakers. They also gave us railways and you can take two rides through completely different scenery during this short break".
