The first Old Hastings Preservation Society (OHPS) 2018 Tuesday afternoon guided walk of Hastings Old Town was last week, oops, apologies for missing it! But the second free guided walk of the old town this year, ie of the "premier ancient Cinque Port," meets up by the top of the West Hill lift at 2.30pm this afternoon. There is a wealth of historic buildings, twittens and cat-creeps to explore in the old town, and the volunteer guide will explain why celebrities of their day (for example, the Pre-Raphaelites in the 19th century, see blog) have, and still do, flock to Hastings.
The walk will proceed gently downhill, including a number of steps to manage, and lasts about 2 hours. The guided walk is provided free of charge, though the OHPS would be grateful for all donations given, many thanks; see their website. It's worth wearing comfortable walking shoes, obviously, and the forecast suggests it will be bright and sunny again today, so be prepared with Factor 50 or hat/head covering if, like me, you redden as soon as the sun casts its rays on you!
Do enjoy the afternoon.
