1066 Country is now recognised throughout the world as a leading brand of historical experience. Lying deep in the mysterious heart of the South East, one of the United Kingdom’s most beautiful regions, its spectacular coast and countryside are littered with relics and ruins from the Norman invasion. This rich history can be touched and tasted within the comforts of the towns and villages that give the area its extraordinarily welcoming reputation.
The thriving market town of Battle is home to the very spot where King Harold fell during the fateful conflict. The Edwardian seaside resort of Bexhill-on-Sea is the birthplace of British motor racing. The quiet village of Burwash hosts Rudyard Kipling’s house ‘Batemans’. Europe’s largest beach-launched fishing fleet can be seen in Hastings & St Leonards. Herstmonceux is the perfect place for visitors to lose themselves in the magic and mystery of modern science. Northiam is a rich tapestry of thatched cottages and country pubs. Pevensey was the landing point for both the Romans the Normans. Rye is a maritime maze of medieval and Georgian buildings.
Visit 1066 Country and you will do far more than learn about history, you'll live it.
