What Should I Do With 24 Hours In Battle?

If you have 24 hours to spend in Battle, here are some suggestions:

  • Battle Abbey and Battlefield: This is the site of the famous Battle of Hastings in 1066 and is definitely worth a visit. You can explore the ruins of the abbey and see the spot where King Harold was killed. Allow at least 2-3 hours for this.
  • 1066 Trail: This is a walking trail that takes you through the countryside and villages that were involved in the Battle of Hastings. It's great for history buffs and nature lovers. Allow at least 3-4 hours for this.
  • Buckley's Yesterday's World: This is a small museum that showcases life in Victorian and Edwardian times. It's a charming and informative experience. Allow at least 1-2 hours for this.
  • St. Mary's Church: This ancient church is one of the oldest buildings in Battle and has a rich history. It's worth popping in for a quick visit. Allow at least 30 minutes for this.
  • Battle high street: There are plenty of independent shops, cafes and pubs to explore on the high street. Allow at least 2 hours for this.

Overall, you could comfortably fit in all of these attractions in 24 hours, but it would be a busy day. Good luck!
