Hastings, on the East Sussex coast, is a historic seaside town with links to the famous 1066 Battle of Hastings, fought nearby at Battle Abbey. The Old Town is full of narrow streets, timber-framed buildings, and fishing huts, while the seafront has piers, amusements, and cultural venues such as Hastings Contemporary. Hastings Country Park and the East and West Hills rise above the town with sweeping views of the Channel, while pebble beaches and cliffs frame the coastline. Its landscape is a blend of seaside, heritage, and rugged hillsides.
The local authority for this district is: Hastings Borough Council - responsible for district-level services. Since East Sussex is a two-tier area, county-level services are handled by: East Sussex County Council.
