Hello from Hampshire. Oh and I visited Hastings, the Abby and battlefield wile staying close by on a holiday. We paid £7.80 each entrance ticket and £4.50 for the car park.It is an English Heritage site. Dogs are welcome within the grounds on leads.

Can't remember visiting here before but enjoyed the audio tour we took and the walk around the Abbey and Battlefield.
