A Visit To HASTINGS In The Autumn – I Was SHOCKED!

It is the return of the 4K walking tours of British seaside destinations as this week I venture to the beautiful town of Hastings in East Sussex.  But is it worth a visit in the Autumn? 
 
Most famous for the Battle of Hastings in 1066, this place really is swimming in history, however today I’m looking for answers as to why it’s such a popular seaside resort –  I explore the dramatic cliffs, the landmark ruins of Hastings Castle, the quirky backstreets, the plethora of museums and galleries, the Old Town (which is rich with coffee shops, antiques and vintage outlets), the seafront amusement park and attractions, the sandy beaches, the high street and finally the famous pier.  I really was shocked at just how much there is to see and do.  So come along and walk with me as we explore another coastal tourist destination!
