Organised by the Old Hastings Preservation Society (OHPS), this afternoon's free guided walk of Hastings Old Town meets up by the top of the West Hill Lift at 2.30pm. This is arranged for Tuesday every week until the middle of September, with an extra one here and there during the year. You will be shown around the old town, with its historic buildings, twittens, and tales, by a volunteer guide from the OHPS, who will also tell you about the wealth of talented celebrities of their age who have visited and/or lived here, eg a number of the Pre-Raphaelites in the 19th century (blog).
The walk proceeds across the West Hill and gently downhill into the old town, with a number of steps to contend with too, lasting about 2 hours. The guided walk is free of charge, though the OHPS, which is a charity, would be very grateful for any donations made, many thanks (website). You are advised to wear comfortable walking shoes, and the weather today is forecast to be overcast with sunny periods (Met Office), so appropriate apparel and protection would also be advised.
Have a good day!
Please note that this walk is included in the 1066 Walking Festival (website).
