Hastings is a popular seaside resort in South East England. This cosmopolitan town, situated between the rugged beauty of the East and West Hills, has its own 660 acre country park. The six Local Nature Reserves in Hastings and St Leonards offer one of the Britain’s most exhilarating cliff top landscapes together with a rich diversity of wildlife. This small and touristic city is an ideal place for relaxation and learning English in a foreign country.
Home to Europe's largest beach-launched fishing fleet, this historic town is famed as the place of the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Its importance as one of the Cinque Ports ended with a series of destructive floods and repeated arson, so you can still see the ruined Norman castle.
Hastings is one of the major players in arts and entertainment on the southern coast. Home to the internationally renowned Coastal Currents Arts Festival and a recently opened University Centre, the town is fast becoming a cosmopolitan hive of creative activity that promises to rival both Brighton and London for sheer audacity. In order to distract after English courses, you can make use of many shopping complexes, cinemas, pubs, restaurants and nightclubs.
