Fabulous day out

Went to the Battle of Hastings re-enactment on 13th October. Great wandering round the camp tents and seeing the way they lived. The battle was very well done and the participants played their parts well. The crowd was involved, the majority cheering for the Saxons....More

Brilliant place

A lovely little town and abbey. The abbey is a great place to visit and the history is fascinating. The audio tour is a must so you really get a feel for what happened in 1066

We visited one lovely day in September, a shame that there is a parking charge even for members (the token is damned fiddly as well to get in the machine)- you need to go inside to pay for the parking at the same time as...More
