Battle Area

• Battle Field Cottage is just a few minutes walk to the main entrance of Battle Abbey and the 1066 battlefields. From the rear of the cottage National Trust fields can be seen, with it’s public footpaths crossing an area that would probably have been part of the Battle of Hastings. A short drive takes you to Hastings Old Town with its ancient fishing huts, the Cinque Port of Rye and the beautiful beach of Camber Sands. Along the coast to the west is found Eastbourne and Brighton. The Royal Spar town of Tunbridge Wells is a short drive in an approximately, northerly direction. Battle Golf Club is a short drive away.
  
  
• The direct mainline train service to London and all the tourist highlights of the Capital City is just a short half-mile walk from the cottage. The town of Battle has a wide variety of cafés, pubs, and restaurants that will supply food including breakfast, as well as lunch and evening meals. Apart from the interesting shops there are two supermarkets, bakers and butchers selling locally raised meat.
