HAMPDEN PARK, EAST SUSSEX

'Hampden Park' is a suburb of Eastbourne. It was named after Viscount Hampden who previously owned the land.
It is notable for its unique railway station, where local trains on the East Coastway Line stop twice, and is currently the busiest level crossing in Europe. The station now known as Hampden Park, was once named 'Willingdon Halt'.
Hampden Park itself is a large pleasant space with a fair sized lake. There is a park cafe and plenty of routes for joggers and strollers, as well as a large area of sports fields. Its main inhabitants are the grey squirrel, and several species inhabit the lake, notably ducks, geese, swans, moorhens, seagulls and pigeons.
