Things to Do

Battle offers a truly diverse experience set against a unique historical backdrop.  However long or short your stay, it will be an enjoyable one!

The picturesque high street, quaint 'twittens' (passageways) and squares offer treasures of every kind.  Visit 'history' attractions, discover beautiful gardens and spend time in quality independent shops and galleries.

Battle has great walking and outdoor activities too.  Take a self-guided tour around the town with the Battle Town Trail, walk through the nearby impressive Battle Great Wood, play golf on one of our stunning local courses or watch a cricket match on a summer Saturday afternoon on the historic George Meadow.

Why not visit Yesterday's World, set in the beautifully preserved 15th century Wealden Hall House and described as 'the very best museum of its kind'.  From its modest beginnings, as a personal collection of historical bygones, this top-award-winning family attraction recently celebrated it's 20th anniversary, and is now home to over 100,000 nostalgic exhibits dating back from the reign of Queen Victoria right through to the swinging sixties. 

And the town is proud of its superb choice of top class restaurants too.  Nobles in the High Street was featured in the prestigious Michelin Guide 2009.  Whatever your taste, you will be able to relax and unwind in a bistro, cafe, inn, pub or tearoom found dotted around the town.
