Hastings old town is a charming and vibrant part of East Sussex, situated on the south coast of England. Visitors to the area will be able to explore its winding streets, quaint shops, galleries and pubs. Learn about its history as a fishing town and discover the many attractions it has to offer including Hastings Castle, St Mary in the Castle Church and Smuggler's Adventure Cave. With plenty of activities to enjoy from beach walks to boat trips, there are plenty of reasons why Hastings old town is worth visiting!

The closest train station is Hastings train station. It is a little far to walk from there with luggage so I would recommend getting a taxi.

I would recommend parking at The Bourne Car park TN34 3BD. This is a paid car park and costs about £8 per 24 hrs.
