Lovely abbey and grounds. Nice little town with plenty of shops and cafes. Good visitor centre in the abbey with a very interesting short film telling all about the Battle of Hastings.

You can read the other reviews. The abbey and the battlefield are worth seeing, but the only gripe I had when I visited was the extortionate parking. £4.50 and the machine doesn't give change. The machine is quite new and because I didn't have 50p change, to park was £5. Being that it was quiet when I went, I feel this was asking too much of their customers.

Although nothing much has survived of the original abbey, the place should be visited by everyone who is into history - the Battle of Hastings was fought here and this is where Harold II was killed. There are only ruins of the abbey buildings but thanks to panels with pictures and descriptions you can get an idea of what the abbey looked like. The same applies to information boards depicting the individual phases of the Battle of Hastings.Get the audio guide, walk at your own pace and enjoy the special atmosphere of the site. (On rainy days there is a lot of mud, though),

We visited the Abbey and Battlefield last year whilst camping nearby on holiday. As English Heritage members, it was free for us to visit but I would say was worth the entrance fee even if you are not a member as it is a site of such historical importance for England. The visitors centre gave a really interesting history of the time and the circumstances leading up to the battle itself. We had the audio tour guide and took the longer walking route which takes you right around the field and up the hill where the battle was centred. All in all it was a fascinating visit and one which has been on list to do for a long time and I am glad we finally had the chance to go there. There were lots of activities for children going on as it was the summer holidays so it would be a great place to visit as a family, as most English Heritage sites are. A well preserved site and lots of information available for visitors. Thank you English Heritage!

The Abbey and Battlefield are administered by English Heritage. The visit included an audio tour commentary and you can progress at your own pace. Well worth a visit and children will love it.

My daughter was doing a school project and homework about the Battle of Hastings, and as an English Heritage Member, and having been here on and off over the last 15 years or so, needed no excuse for a day out to visit. It is a fascinating place for anyone who loves history, and so meaningful to English history. Unfortunately the day we went had been preceded by a lot of rain, so the Lower Battlefield walk was not usable. However, there is still a lot to see and do despite that. As an Australian, the imagery of a battlefield is of a vast area, and is is somewhat deceiving regarding the size of where one of the most important battles of history took place. The Audio Tour is great as it gives almost an eye-witness account, and explains how the battle took place, and what took place prior to and after. There are other displays which give an insight into how and why the battle took place, and it's interesting to note it's not really near Hastings, but not many people know that. The grounds are meticulously looked after, and a pleasure to stroll around on well defined paths. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed her day out, and learned a lot more than just reading books about the battle. I have always enjoyed coming here and will be back again.

Visited the Abbey this week on a two day stay in Battle. Great value for money and the audio presentation is very good. Also a short film about the Battle, how it happened and the consequences. Friendly welcome by all staff we spoke to, could not have been more helpful. Lucky for us the sun was shining as I would think on a wet day it could get very muddy. Didn't do the Battle walk as it was a bit much for us but lots of people did. Attractions for children over half-term were well attended and from what we saw the staff did a great job. Were there about 2 hours and thoroughly enjoyed it. Would recommend a visit.

Very good audio guide which transformed what might otherwise have felt much like any other muddy field. The visitors' centre was good, and the staff very friendly and helpful. The boys found it very interesting, and we all learnt a lot.
