Located in East Sussex, about 6 miles inland from its more bustling sister city, Hastings on the coast, is the small town of Battle. Both gained notoriety after taking part in the 1066 battle that decided the fate of England between William the Conqueror and King Harold. Although it is now a bustling and busy place that welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors from all over the world each year, Battle takes pride in maintaining its historic landmark status, with its narrow alleys. High tea is served on elaborate cake stands in a traditional English parlour from the 16th century, and guests flock there to indulge in the delights that tea rooms like Mrs. Burton's have to offer. Local butchers and organic vegetable stores stock cheeses and wines produced within a few miles, and there are plenty of other quaint shops for them to peruse as they sip and savour their purchases. In contrast, the majestic Battle Abbey towers over this picturesque community. Majestic in appearance, and even though many of its buildings are in ruins, it continues to draw tourists who want to see the sites of historic battles and the crumbling ruins of an ancient Abbey. Events as diverse as costumed marble matches, mediaeval fayres, and scarecrow competitions are held on the green throughout the year. A day at the beach, swimming, sailing, fishing, or wind-surfing is just a short drive away in Hastings. Or you could enjoy a meal outside at one of the many eateries in the historic district and take in a play or concert at one of the theatres in the area afterward. Hastings and Battle, two historic towns that are only a short distance apart, have something exciting and enjoyable to offer visitors year-round.

With many quaint, seaside and market towns, historic sites and miles of glorious coastline to explore, Sussex has it all for a great holiday destination.
