Learn more about hotels in Hastings

Hastings boasts a rich tapestry of history woven across centuries. Famous for the monumental historical event - The Battle of Hastings in 1066, this town was once a significant hub as one of the medieval Cinque Ports. Its historical charm is still apparent today, in the form of a castle built by William the Conqueror, which stands as a majestic symbol of its past amongst the modern town's hustle and bustle.

In Victorian times, Hastings rose to prominence as a popular seaside retreat, its allure further heightened by railway links allowing more tourists to enjoy its coastal splendour. Today, this town reminds visitors of its history as a separate kingdom, the 'Haestingas tribe' while celebrating its Roman influences visible in the legacy from the iron mine at Beauport Park to the north.

Interlaced with natural beauty, Hastings is bordered by Sites of Special Scientific interest, including the softly whispering Marline Valley Woods, the tranquil Combe Haven, and the impressive Hastings Cliffs stretching to Pett Beach. This all makes Hastings a delightful blend of historical significance and natural heritage for the discerning traveller.

When to visit Hastings

Given its mild climatic conditions, Hastings is a year-round destination. However, the best times to visit for idyllic weather are between June and August; expect beautifully warm British summer days perfect for leisurely beach walks and picnics. Come July, the town vibrates with warmth, making it an excellent time to enjoy outdoor activities and festivals.

For those looking to dodge the typical British rain, the lowest chances of precipitation are in April, September, and March. If you prefer a quieter retreat and don't mind a bit of November humidity, visits during the off-peak periods might be an ideal option. Regardless of your plans, there's always something inviting happening in Hastings to enrich your stay. Whether you're planning ahead or seeking a last-minute getaway, book your accommodation in Hastings with LycaFly today.
