Hastings Old Town

Hastings Old Town can be found nestled in a valley between the beautiful East Hill with its Country Park and the West Hill with its romantic ruins of an old Norman castle. It is surrounded by steep cliffs and faces the sea from where in 1066 famously William The Conqueror and his men came sailing across the channel and set foot on British soil, changing English history and culture forever.

Where once pirates and smugglers roamed, Hastings Old Town is now a bustling community with an amazing array of restaurants, ancient pubs, art galleries and quirky antique shops. It also famously is the home to Europe's largest beach-launched fishing fleet. Down at The Stade fishermen today fish and work as their ancestors did over 1000 years ago.
