What an experience! We really loved visiting this ancient place. The only hiccup was that one of the guides referred to William the Conqueror as French, but he wasn't, he was Norman. A man from the north - nor-man. They had settled in Normandy, now...More
As we were on holiday near Hastings we thought it would be a shame not to visit here. The price was ok and what you would expect to pay. We paid £11.20 each and £3.50 for the car park next door. Visiting on a beautiful...More
Like most people, we knew the 1066 date and the arrow in the eye bit, but we learnt so much more on our visit here. Everything is well signed and there are information boards all around, and plenty of level paths. Would certainly recommend climbing...More
Interesting to walk around and a piece of history we all learnt in our school days. A must if in Battle. A lovely cafe and we had a cream tea which was scrummy. After your visit the town is very close as it in the...More
Fascinating to walk around the famous battle field and experience important piece of English history. The talking guides you can take around are good. Abbey is largely ruins, but still interesting slice of history. Small playground for the kids. So well worth a visit, although...More

Such an interesting place to visit. We were camping in saddlescombe and walked to battle. Friendly and welcoming staff. Our children enjoyed the history as much as we did. The grounds are well kept.
Good day for a walk. Set amid well tended leafy grounds, the abbey looks out across the fields where the English and Norman armies fought the Battle of Hastings in 1066.
A great visit to the site. The less mobile can use motorised carts. The audio guide brings the Battle to life. Thought the shop was overpriced...£3.50 for a fridge magnet. Recommend the Chequers Inn around the corner for a decent meal.
We are english heritage members and hadn't visited for a very long time and so glad we did as it had changed so much. On arrival the carpark is 1 pound for members but unsure how much non members was. We had an audio guide...More
