Today I want to share my guide to taking a Hastings day trip with you. This seaside town in East Sussex, England is a great place to escape to the coast for a day of waterfront fun.
Before I planned my day trip to Hastings, I’d never really had the town on my radar screen.
This was in spite of the fact that it shares coastline with famous spots like Brighton, Dover, and East Sussex beaches like Camber Sands.
I was remiss to overlook it. Famous for its connections to William the Conqueror, who came from Normandy in 1066 and defeated English King Harold in the Battle of Hastings in nearby Battle, Hastings has a long history.
That means it’s not only home to hilltop castle ruins, but also beautiful historic streets. Add to that beaches, a pleasure pier, waterfalls and lots of fish and chips, and a Hastings day trip is a must on a sunny day.
It’s easy to get to Hastings from London on the train. Direct rail services depart from stations like Charing Cross and London Bridge, and the journey takes just over an hour and 15 minutes.
Driving to Hastings is an option, too. It takes around 2 hours to drive to Hastings from London, and there’s parking in town.
See below for locations of all the places I have been to.
