Hastings is a coastal town in southeast England, boasting historic architecture, spectacular sceneries, and beaches. Did you know that John Logie Baird, the inventor of television, lived in Hastings? Now you do. Your vacation days here can include relishing barbecues at the beach, shopping in Hastings Old Town, and visiting the historic Hastings Castle. Hike on East Hill or at Seven Sisters while marveling at stunning views all the way. Marvel at the linear landscaping at Alexandra Park, which features a playground and a rich collection of trees. Ride a Victorian coach on the two funicular railways, one of which comes with a 78% gradient. The coach rattles up and down sandstone cliffs. Battle Abbey is a partially ruined Benedictine structure with a walled garden. Glamping is another exciting activity to do in town. Check out the top glamping spots in Hastings, UK.
