The Holywell Adventure Lab starts and finishes near the popular tea chalet which was built in 1905 at the site of the disused chalk pit known as the Gore it was later extended after World War II. It is also close to one of the terminuses of the seafronts Dotto mini-Train. The walk takes you along by the three seafronts walks designed by George Ambrose Wallis and explores the 1872 town plan of Henry Currey working for the Duke of Devonshire that made Meads “the unrivalled Belgravia of a salubrious and flourishing health resort “, where plots of land were offered to the aristocracy and wealthy industrialists with the proviso that they spent at least £2500 on building a house. Looking at the magnificent mansions now, it is clear many spent even more with a certain amount of ‘one upmanship’ amongst the wealthy new owners of Meads.
