Latest Hastings hotel reviews
Pro
seafront, fairlight walks over cliffs, bracing breeze off the sea
Con
run down town - needs some money spent on it and the pier, sad to see it not maintained.
In a nutshell
Highly recommended by the Duke of Normandy!
planxty Says: Well, not literally obviously, but if you want to experience walking underwater without the aid of diving equipment, Underwater World is the place for you. It is an aquarium with a walk through section where the fish are actually swimming above you. Apart from this, there...
katathome Says: Lovely area of woodland/meadowland popular with local dogwalkers. Church located off Churchwood Drive, Hollington. Wooks full of wild garlic in spring - your nose leads you to the flowers!

planxty Says: As I said in my intro page, the Castle dominates the Old Town of Hastings. Upon landing in England in 1066, Duc William ordered a fortification built here. Originally of a motte and bailey construction, it was added to over the years until it was a formidable Norman castle...

Gili_S Says: The FILO is a local pub and brewery. It is a small one that has few own beers, I wouldn’t say that they were any great beers but they were original and interesting to try.Beside the obvious and traditional Ale and Bitters it was interesting to try Mike’s Mild, an original...

planxty Says: Hastings is connected to London by a reasonable service which takes either one hour 32 minutes or one hour 43 minutes. the rolling stock is fairly new and comfortanble. Trains depart London Charing Cross and call at London Bridge if that's more convenient for you.You can...
Manyana Says: The train is the fastest way if not the cheapest to get to Hastings. The bus will take 7 hours with long stops in between and will save you 5 pounds or so. Catch the train SouthEastern from either Charing Cross, Victoria, or London Bridge station. The journey roughly takes...

RX Fisheries: Fresh fish in Hastings
fultonpat Says: This is an amazing shop with a pleasant experience in shopping for fresh fish - helpful and lovely staff, gorgeous fresh fish and a fantastic range of varieties. Thoroughly recommend it, especially if you want to travel home with a taste of the sea - RX fisheries will store...
katathome Says: George Street and the surrounding area is full of different kinds of shops, watering holes, eateriesetc. but be careful, some of them are a little pricey - this is where the daytrippers land when they disembark from their coaches! In this part of town, there are all sorts,...
katathome Says: There are several large supermarkets, one in Town, (Morrisons) and 2 on the outskirts, with another due to open later this year. They sell almost everything, from swimwear (in season) to tents, as well as the usual supermarket food, drink etc. They also have pharmacy depts....
Gili_S Says: Every year there is a beer festival and with my luck, it was exactly on the weekend that I was visiting the area, so, of course I couldn’t resist and visited the festival. The rest, I don’t really remember, the photos and my head were blurred ;-)
katathome Says: Young students, especially foreign ones are often targeted by young thieves, both male and female, especially in the late evenings, although it can happen at any time of day. Cash, cameras and mobile (cell) phones are the items most often taken. Despite CCTV in the town...
clueless83 Says: One day I was in Hastings and decided to get a portion of yummy seaside chips and eat them at the seafront. As I was walking along finding a place to sit and eat my lunch in the fresh air and sunshine a cheeky seagull swooped down and stole a chip straight out of my hand AND...
Gili_S Says: There is this unique Funicular ("mountain train"), very short one by the cliff & the sea. Unfortunately it was under renovation the time I was here.
Hastings Country Park Nature Reserve
Gili_S Says: Nice to see that also in a small place in the south of England there is some nature and reservations. This interesting park is just by the edge of the old town and long into the meadow. Check the link for much more interesting information.
Gili_S Says: Golf is very popular and very traditional Anglo sports, isn’t it? Well, I guess there are some real golf somewhere, but meanwhile all I saw is this ;-)
The battle did NOT take place in Hastings
Airpunk Says: Depending of where you went to school, you had to learn that there was the battle of Hastings which took place on October 14th 1066. That is OK, but the problem is that the battle of Hastings did NOT take place in Hastings, but on Senlac Hill, which is some miles to the...
nice town: not too small, not too big
banshee11 Says: what i deeply loved in hastings was the old town. situated between the east and the west hill the old town seems to be a world of it's own. there's the "stade", the largest beach-launched fishing-fleet of europe. there are the very special net-shops. the romantic houses,...

Hastings - the 1066 beach resort
After a trip to Normandy in 1999, I decided to follow the steps of William the Conqueror again and cross the channel. Doing such a trip would mean that I would end up in Hastings. I didn't really know...
