Battle of Hastings Re-Enactment, 2006, by Snake3yes, a Participant




Hastings is an easy day trip from London.

It's famous because of the Battle of Hastings when the Normans won and English King Harold had a spear through the eye, as depicted in the Bayeux Tapestry.

1066 and all that.

Can't promise a re-enactment, but the field is there and so is what's left of William the Conqueror's castle - free admission to the ruins.

Discover the horror of the oubliette the deep, dark hole no prisoner would want to end up in.
