One of the highlights of 1066 Country awaits on our included excursion. We head to the coastal town of Hastings, which boasts the remains of the first castle in England to be built by William the Conqueror and a lovely preserved Old Town with half-timbered houses and narrow streets. To learn more about the history of the town (from smuggling to the pivotal role in the Norman Conquest) there are several museums, head to Hastings Contemporary to discover works by leading contemporary artists or simply enjoy some fresh air along the pier and admire the pretty views of the coastline.
Later, we return to the hotel to enjoy an afternoon tea or coffee with a slice of cake.
