About Jubilee Sundial

The Jubilee Sundial sits in Bexhill-on-Sea as a curious bit of public art that catches you off guard if you're wandering along the seafront. It's not some grand sculptural statement - more a functional piece that's been given proper artistic treatment, and frankly, it works. The sundial actually tells the time (weather permitting), which is more than most art installations manage, and there's something rather satisfying about that practical honesty.

You won't need more than ten or fifteen minutes here unless you're the type who gets genuinely absorbed by how sundials work and why the Victorian Jubilee warranted such a marker. It's the sort of stop that appeals more to history buffs and people who appreciate understated public monuments than to families expecting something to keep the kids entertained for an hour.

Being right in Bexhill means it slots easily into a coastal walk, especially if you're staying at Park Holidays UK just up the road or Combe Haven Holiday Park nearby. The seafront itself is pleasant enough for a stroll, and you can combine this with other bits of Bexhill's rather genteel seaside charm - the De La Warr Pavilion is worth a look if you want something with actual substance. Free to view, obviously, and you can check it out whenever you fancy without worrying about opening times. It's the kind of thing that makes for a nice photograph and a quick history lesson rolled into one.
