October: Ben, Jerwood, Azur
The exhibition of Ben Nicholson at the De La Warr Pavilion is well worth a visit!. Its possible to walk all the way along the beach from Hastings to Bexhill as we did at the weekend. This is a picturesque hour or so passing colourful beach huts, fishing boats and there is a cafe at Glynde Gap where you can stop off halfway.
