The Town of Hastings

Hastings is a historic coastal town in East Sussex, England, famous for its role in the Battle of Hastings in 1066 and its unique blend of heritage and seaside charm. The town’s medieval Old Town is filled with narrow streets, timber-framed houses, antique shops, and vibrant pubs. The ruins of Hastings Castle, the first Norman castle built in England, offer panoramic views of the coastline and a sense of the town’s rich past. The Hastings Contemporary, a modern art gallery located on the seafront, features contemporary British art in a striking building. Visitors can also explore the town's unique underground caverns in the Smugglers Adventure attraction, which tells the story of the area's smuggling history.
