May Walk

On Tuesday 25 May the walk will be on a gentle circular route, about 4 miles, passing through or by old managed woodlands, remnants of the once huge gunpowder industry, attractive farm buildings, the site of the 1066 battle, with some lovely open views.
We meet on Battle Abbey Green at 10.00 a.m. The bus 305 (or it might say 304 on the front - it's the same route) leaves Hastings station at 9.30, Warrior Square 9.38, to arrive at the Green at 10.00. Or the 9.29 train from Hastings will get to Battle Station in plenty of time to walk up the hill to the start point.
Arriving back in Battle after the walk, the 304/305 bus to Hastings goes at 5 minutes to the hour; trains are at 41 minutes past. There are several nice cafes close at hand if there is a wait.

Visiting Hastings?

If you are a tourist in Hastings you are most welcome to join us on a walk. See here for current projected walks

Hastings is a fascinating historical town, which has woods, parks, cliffs and seaside, architecture from mediaeval to 21st Century times, cliff lifts, a pier, (unfortunately closed at present, but we live in hope) and always something going on.

The Old Town is a delight in itself, as is the Fishermen's Beach and then there's the Castle, Pelham Crescent, St Mary's in the Castle, Alexandra Park, a three mile promenade......
