Nice tower , great location, lots of parking spaces and toilets nearby, restaurant next door. Shame was closed, so we could just walk around .

An important historical spot though it's a shame you can't go in it any longer

I went to Eastbourne and it was excellent! I went on a big wheel, and it had good views!

One of 74 Martello Towers built along the south coast to defend against Napoleon in the early 1800's. The walls are 14 feet thick on the seaward side to defend against cannon balls and the round shape is to deflect cannon balls. On top would have been mounted at least one cannon on a swivel mount. It was never used in the napoleonic wars as napoleon didn’t invade in the end but if he had then this tower was part of the coastal defence.

On top of Wish Tower, you can see 360 degree of Eastbourne and the beach.

This is an historic Marello Tower sited on top of the hill near the west end of Eastbourne 's Promenade. It is unusual in that it is sunk into a pit, presumably to add further protection against cannon fire from ships, although, perhaps this was done later.
The tower is set in a nice garden layout and the views are exceptional on a clear day.
If you visit here, do check out the old lifeboat museum at the bottom of the hill too.
