Hastings in General

Hastings is historically known for the battle of Hastings 1066, I really enjoyed my visit to Hastings, we only visited for the day, I loved the history of the battle and all the stories behind Hastings. We went to the Hastings castle, it was fascinating and so much to see. Hastings castle was the first Norman Castle, there is a 20-minute audio and visual available for you, which was fantastic and interesting and explained so much which I didnnt know. We went through the whispering dungeons, which was great a little spooky but fun. We also went to look at the eastern gate, we took lots of photos at Hastings castle as it was stunning and beautiful, and to see all the ...  Read the complete review

i live in Eastbourne but love going to Hastings, in the summer there is lots to do for the kids. Hastings has a carnival in the summer although this year was a bit of a wash out due to the weather but in October there is the torch light, fireworks and bonfire which made up for it. Hastings always starts the bonfire parades as its the first one and is one the best, the costumes are excellent and the fireworks are breathtaking always a good night out.

I lived in Hastings until 5 years ago my husband and I up and moved as he had a promotion in retail.I have just come back from seeing my family and read an opinion on Hastings so I thought I could do one too. Hasting in itself is a busy town in the South East of England. It is a Cinque Port town,as it was originally a fishing village, and has two main parts. Hastings town centre if often busy, with all walks of life from business men/women to people begging, not many but I think you get these people in most places.When I used to live there, the shopping facilities were not that good but about 3yrs ago Hastings council built a new shopping precinct. It ...  Read the complete review
