If you enjoy history and appreciate Georgian architecture visit the museum in the lodge at the sea end of St Leonards Gardens. Then wander round and appreciate the buildings and parks which make up Burton St Leonards. Much of it was neglected for many years, but every day another building is being restored to it's former glory. We love scaffolding in St Leonards!
