Hastings Country Park

Reviewed By MrsBsTravels - Hastings, United Kingdom

This is one of my most favourite places in my town. I've been coming here for years for stunning cliff top views and costal walks. On clear days, you can see Dungeness. Beautiful in winter and summer throughout.

Alexandra Park

Reviewed By DeniseT36

This is my local park and I think it is the best thing about Hastings! It is huge and varied from wild areas, ornamental flower beds, ponds -one with fishing, wild life including very cheeky squirrels, bowling greens, tennis courts and multisports hard surface area, a super cafe with outdoor seating, toilets, rare trees including champion trees, bandstand, a stream runs through it's great length and there is even a kiddies miniature railway with limited opening times sadly. Just try it when you visit Hastings, you won't be disappointed.It is a day out on it's own but I suggest not trying to see it all on one visit!

Smugglers Adventure

Deep in the heart of Hastings West Hill lies the Smugglers Adventure, acres of caverns that conceal the thrilling history of smugglers, bootleggers and warring bloodthirsty gangs.Visitors can explore the labyrinth of secret tunnels and passages and discover the dangers and hardships faced by Sussex smugglers in the eighteenth century.More than 70 life-size characters, interactive displays, eerie lighting and sound effects and dramatic recreations bring this mysterious and often bloody world vividly to life.

Reviewed By Travelling_Tweet - Greater London, United Kingdom

The Smugglers Adventure was an interesting way to find out about the history of the area. Mannequins and audio displays are set up which tell the history of smuggling in the area. It also gives some information about how this place was used in WW2 and some of the local ghostly presences. It's self guided and you can go at your own pace, with plenty of room for social distancing. The caves are dark but, with the lighting present, you'll have no trouble working out where you need to go next (and it would be difficult to get lost). There are some low ceilings to. I'm about 165cm and had to bend right over to get through one area. However, I'm also claustrophobic but wasn't bothered by that, in there.
