We visited Battle Abbey on a cold and bleak day and we really enjoyed it. The audio guide is good and adds detail to the informative David Starkey film in the visitor centre. The visitor centre is engaging though the march to battle interactive bit is unresponsive and could be improved. The battlefield walk was muddy as to be expected at this time of year so make sure you take appropriate footwear! The abbey is worth a visit, we loved hearing about the uses of different spaces. The gatehouse exhibition is a little dated and although informative, the style is not consistent with the quality of the audio guide, the visitor centre exhibition and the information panels around the rest of the site. The café is great, the staff are friendly and there is a good range of food and drink available. The toilet facilities are clean but the hand dryers are rubbish! The Gift shop has a wide selection of stock and includes wine tasting! Parking is £1.00 for English Heritage members or £4.50 for non-members. We felt the latterwasw steep especially since you have to pay for entry too.

We spent a good three hours here visiting the museum, walking the battlefield and looking at the abbey remains. The weather was a bit dank which made us even more aware of the conditions of battle on an October morning in 1066. The film in the visitor centre helped to prepare us for the battlefield tour and the audio tour was excellent and the equipment worked well. Special activities for the children this week. I have passed the abbey maybe fifty times in my life and always wondered what was behind the walls. Definitely worth the entrance fee.

This was a great day out and good value for the price, arrive early as they ran out of audio tours later in the morning. Depending on the time of year wear a sturdy pair of shoes as the walk around the battlefield can be very wet and muddy, we went in Feb and the friendly man on the entrance warned us of this. the audio tour gave a lot of background information and was very useful. The visitor centre was full of great information and the short 10 min film is well worth a look.

Went to the abbey today to have a look around and for our daughter to join in with the Knights and Princesses school which is being run during half term.. Brilliant fun and educational. No extra cost for her to join in. An hour flew by as the many children were trained in how to serve a lord and how to fight with a sword. The children and adults listened with rapt attention as the two guides imparted amazing information about life for young trainee princesses and knights. They were incredibly knowledgable and it was a really enjoyable experience. The setting is fabulous and the walk round the battlefield was very informative with lots of boards giving a rundown of events on that October day in 1066.
