Hastings Castle

"While the highlight of our castle visit were definitely the amazing views, the kiddo was also fascinated by the 1066 Story audio-visual tour about the conquest and history of the castle. It’s fascinating to see what large complex once stood on this cliff and how little is left of it. There were a lot of questions about what a battle is and why the people were hitting each other with “hammers”. If the interest persists we’ll try and explore the topic a bit further through the English Heritage Kids Rule! activities focusing on the Norman Conquest (pointed out to me by Museum Mum!)"
