Glamp In Style

The nearest town, Battle, has to be your first port of call, whether you walk there along the footpath or drive there in a little under 10 minutes. It’s most famous as the site of the Battle of Hastings, and you can now visit the Battlefield as well as stopping by at the abbey, the local history museum and the brewery. There’s more history on display at Bodiam Castle (15 minutes’ drive) or down in Hastings (20 minutes), where you can stroll through the old town and visit the castle before having a paddle on the beach. If you’d rather head straight to the seaside, try Bexhill-on-Sea (20 minutes) or the lovely dunes of Camber Sands (40 minutes). If you’ve got kids in tow, a couple of great places to bear in mind for local days out are Drusillas Park and Knockhatch Adventure Park – both are about half an hour’s drive away and have a fab range of activities plus animals to meet.
