Stroll through the village of Milford-on-Sea and its lovely wooded Pleasure Grounds, while your guide relates how the sleepy hamlet of Milford tried to live down its smuggling days and changed its name to try to rival genteel Eastbourne. 

Hear the story of the string of pearls seven yards long....
