Short Breaks and Holidays in Southern England

Visit 1066 Country

With a spectacular combination of coast and countryside that is scattered with relics and ruins from the past, 1066 Country, in South East England, is the kind of place where you don't just learn about history, you live it.

1066 Country is now recognised throughout the world as a leading brand of historical experience. 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 home of the De La Warr Pavilion.

Herstmonceux Castle

The quiet village of Burwash hosts Rudyard Kipling's house 'Batemans'. Europe's largest beach-launched fishing fleet can be seen in Hastings and St Leonards where you can also enjoy the picturesque Old Town. 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 and the Normans. Famous for its pretty cobbled streets, Rye is also a maritime maze of Medieval and Georgian buildings. And you must not miss the fairytale castle of Bodiam.

If you are looking for a fun and interesting location to visit for a short break in Southern England, visit 1066 Country and you will do far more than learn about history, you'll live it!
