Hastings Castle, perched atop the rugged cliffs overlooking the English Channel in Hastings, East Sussex, is a historic fortress with a rich and tumultuous past. Built by William the Conqueror in 1067 following his victory at the Battle of Hastings, this Norman castle was one of England's first stone fortifications. Although much of it now lies in ruins, visitors can explore its remaining structures, including the stone keep and dungeons, and learn about its storied history through informative displays and exhibits.
