Tuesday: Regular Free Old Town Guided Walk


It's that day again! Consequently, this afternoon, it's time for the Old Hastings Preservation Society's (OHPS) regular Tuesday afternoon free guided walk of Hastings Old Town, meeting up by the top of the West Hill Lift at 2.30pm. A volunteer guide from the OHPS will show you around the old town, with its historic buildings, twittens, and stories, and 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), indeed, they still keep on coming!


The walk proceeds across the West Hill and leads gently downhill into the old town, with a number of steps involved, and it lasts about 2 hours. The OHPS provides for this guided walk free of charge, though as a registered charity, they would be very grateful for all donations made, many thanks (website). You are advised to wear comfortable walking shoes, and the weather is forecast to be a bit cooler than of late, mostly thin cloud this afternoon, but you never know if the sun will burn off the cloud, whatever, rays do still get through (Met Office), so Factor 50 and/or head covering may be wise, certainly if you're fair-skinned like me!

Enjoy your day!
