Weekend Breaks in Hastings: find your perfect rental from just £39 per night!
If you're keen on an English seaside break, weekend breaks in Hastings are hard to beat. Two days should be enough to see many of the resort's attractions, but to help you plan your visit, here are five must-visit attractions not far from the city centre.
Built in 1902, the East Hill funicular railway allows visitors to soar 81m above Hastings, providing fine views of the beach. And it's a handy route to the Hastings Country Park, an 852-acre complex full of coastal walks and fabulous views.
It's a magnificent ruin, but Hastings Castle is well worth exploring via the West Hill funicular. The castle was ground zero for the Norman Conquest, marking the birth of modern Britain, and highlights include the eerie 'whispering dungeon'.
With 48 hours to spare, visiting this newly opened modern art gallery is a must. Close to the beach, it hosts a dizzying schedule of exhibitions by major British artists, from Stanley Spencer to Jake & Dinos Chapman.
For centuries, Hastings was a smuggling hotspot, and St. Clements Caves formed a vital part of the smuggling chain. Nowadays, these catacombs have been converted into a fascinating museum, dedicated to contraband and illegal trade. There's no museum quite like it.
If the weather is fine, why not copy the Victorian crowds, and pay Hastings Beach a visit? There's enough sand for games and sunbathing, and the town's pier is available when the clouds open, offering amusements, cinemas, and music venues.
