We spent most of the week before Easter in the little *historical* town of Battle near Hastings, and that's when we did that walk (in case you hadn't noticed the trees being a bit bare compared to right now in the pictures ;-) Have to say Hastings was a bit of a revelation, there are still some nasty bits and it definitely isn't Brighton in many ways but the old town and harbour are fun to explore and there is quite a good atmosphere. The so called 1066 country (a great tourism marketing concept, if there ever was one, that has now been extended to neighbouring areas in France as well) is really quite nice, lots of old stuff, and that coastal walk between Hastings and Rye is especially wild and quite varied. Elsewhere, the coast towards Eastbourne can be a bit too built up for my liking...though there are quiet pockets there too, Normans Bay was quite nice... <BR/><BR/>Anyway, thanks for checking in again. Let's meet soon!thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03359229225093878440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13386055.post-38640388885416440802007-05-13T19:15:00.000+02:002007-05-13T19:15:00.000+02:00Looks even more lovely than Somerset/Cheddar!
