HASTINGS Country Park Cliff & BLUEBELLS - a Majestic coastal hike

Let's go to the sea and visit the beautiful town of Hastings, its country park, where I will show you some little known stunning views of the sea and the last remaining rain forest of England! And some pretty traditional villages. And the top of the cake will be that there is also a freaking bluebell forest, another one covered in wild garlic and some views that you will not believe!
You will have yellow with the gorse bushes on the cliff top, a purple carpet in the forest and a white carpet in another wooded area! How incredible is that?!

Hikers are always pleasantly surprised with this trip, so even if you are wondering if it is worth it, believe me, it really is worth it!
What else can you ask for? Wild flowers, stunning seaside and cliff top and historical town... oh yes! Food, well, there will be plenty of choice if you fancy a bite or a drink , ... or both after the hike, unless you prefer to get back home of course!
We found a lovely, quirky old pub in the village where we finish so we can have something there afterwards...

The town gives its name to the Battle of Hastings, which took place 8 mi (13 km) to the north-west at Senlac Hill in 1066. It later became one of the medieval Cinque Ports. In the 19th century, it was a popular seaside resort, as the railway allowed tourists and visitors to reach the town. Today, Hastings is a fishing port with the UK's largest beach-based fishing fleet.

We will walk the cliff top, beaches and country park, have a trip along a magnificent coastline, in the woods with some views...
There will be a few inclines during the first part of the hike, nothing too demanding, and the second part will be easier. After a break at the clifftop cafe we will carry on towards the bluebell forest, it should be at its peak so let's hope for some prettiness!

As always on my trails, you will have some stunning sceneries and a lovely day out with some funny people at a relaxing pace. No rushing, just the enjoyment of the day surrounded by nature and history.
Afterwards, we will take the train back to Hastings where you can either join me for a drink or a meal or change for the train back to London.
