Two points of interest dominate the character of the bustling East Sussex town of Hastings – the sea and 1066. After a period of steady post-war decline, the town is enjoying a mini-renaissance, and these days is an intriguing mix of family seaside resort, working fishing port and arty hang-out. It offers a range of attractions for the short break visitor looking for what to do in Hastings. From Britain`s steepest funicular, to the meandering alleyways of the Old Town, it`s a great place to explore for a few days.
