Pevensey Bay in East Sussex is the location for William the Conqueror's landing of his Norman forces in England, prior to the 1066 Battle of Hastings.
Locate it on our map and see for yourself where modern Britain could be argued to have begun, and experience a pleasant pebbly beach (sand available at low tide) whilst images of the Norman fleet from the Bayeux Tapestry sail through your imagination. The area also has Pevensey Castle, dating from Norman times, built with the remains of a Roman Fort. You could also take in the site of the Battle of Hastings at Battle Abbey only just over 10 miles away. |
