The Town
Hastings is located on the south coast of England, yet is close to London, major airports, channel ferry ports and the Eurotunnel. The attractive seaside town has a population of around 85 000. It is a town of contrasts, with an interesting mix of old and new. It has spacious beaches and parks and all the facilities of a good tourist resort.
Many of the town centre streets are pedestrianised and you can enjoy refreshments ‘al fresco’ at one of the many continental style cafés, restaurants and bars. There is a modern shopping centre with famous brand name shops. In contrast, the picturesque Old Town has many small craft shops and boutiques, as well as traditional English pubs, specialist restaurants, bistros and café bars.
The beautiful Sussex countryside surrounds Hastings and you can enjoy visits to typical English villages and many historic buildings.
