To soak up Hastings’ history, wander the preserved Old Town’s winding streets and tiny twittens, crammed with Tudor houses and flower-bedecked cottages, and inhale the hard-working fishing quarter with its towering net huts and ramshackle huts on the beach.
Heading west, the alternative vibe continues as you arrive in St Leonards. Purpose built in the 1800s by James and Decimus Burton as a genteel seaside resort for the aristocracy, its architecture provides a striking backdrop for art galleries, antique shops, chic boutiques and a thriving café culture.
Hastings Old Town lies in a valley between the East and West Hills, each with their own funicular railway. Take the East Hill Lift from the fishing beach up to Hastings Country Park, where on clear days you can see from Beachy Head to Dungeness and as far as Folkestone and the coast of France.
Take the West Hill Lift from George Street, up through a tunnel of rock to emerge into the tranquil light of another world. Explore Smugglers Adventures at labyrinth of caverns hidden deep within the West Hill, packed with the thrilling history of smugglers, bootleggers and warring bloodthirsty gangs.
On the seafront you'll find you'll find your favourite seaside amusements, including Flamingo Amusements and Playland as well as Hastings Aquarium and Hastings Miniature Adventure Golf Complex with three golf courses that also has great fish and chips, Italian ice cream, café and is the home to the World Crazy Golf Championships every July.
To really immerse yourself in the spirit of the town, a visit to some of its quirky museums is a must. The Shipwreck Museum is a fascinating reminder of the dangers of the sea, with lots of information about local wrecks the Amsterdam and the Anne. The nearby Fishermen’s Museum where you can stand on the deck of Hastings’ last lugger. Just up the road is the ultra-modern Hastings Contemporary, with regularly changing exhibitions of famous contemporary British art. Hastings Museum and Art Gallery on Bohemia Road has excellent regularly changing exhibitions of local and international history and art. It is home to the Durbar Hall, a magnificent carved hall made for the 1886 Colonial & Indian Exhibition in London.
Hastings Country Park is a nature reserve that covers 345 hectares of coastal gill woodlands, open pasture and cliff-top grassland, together with five kilometres of dramatic soft rock cliffs and coastline. It’s one of three award-winning parks in the town, alongside the spectacular Alexandra Park with its collection of rare trees, and the Regency-style St Leonards Gardens.
