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.

Find Tintagel Castle, Cornwall, birthplace of King Arthur on our map. In the caves below the castle Merlin the magician lived and tutored the young Arthur.
Sea, historic castle ruins, caves, all the atmosphere of legend and history - what more could you ask for. Could King Arthur have been born here? Was Camelot and the Round Table located here? Is this the birthplace of Arthurian legend clinging to cliffs above the raging Atlantic seas? Certainly Geoffrey of Monmouth, Malory and Tennyson thought so. |
