Coming from the north which is the best way to Eastbourne?

M25-Heathrow or M25 Dartford bridge to M23/A23/A27 or Royal Tunbridge Wells and down?
Never had much cause to go down that way so a bit unfamiliar with whats the most direct/quickest

My Granny went by coach.

I wouldnt know if the M25 is closed at present, i go every year for the past 25 yrs that route i found to be the best for me…just by looking at your location that is the most direct…but the choice is yours buddy. cheers…shytalk.

M23/A23/A27 is quicker and easier than the Tun Wells or East Grinstead route. There are roadworks on the A23 that are pretty slow during the day, but it’s still the best way. Dual carriage way all the way except for the last 5 or so miles whereas Tun Wells route is nearly all single cway and goes through town centres.

Just remembered the A23 will be shut overnight on the 28th (24 hours from now) so if you’re coming at that time you should go via East Grinstead.

M1/M25 Heathrow/M23/A23/A27 is much quicker in both car and especially in truck. Although I live in Beds, until 5 years ago Eastbourne was my hometown. And you have nice new services at M25 J10 - J9 now too!
