Blog (November 2020) - Visit 1066 Country

When Visit Britain got in touch to take part in their Escape the Everyday campaign I was quite excited because so many of my favourite trips in the last few years have been local ones. The United Kingdom is such a gorgeous place; full of history and legends, cozy cottages and breath-taking landscapes. Visit Britain seemed well aware of my penchant for the old and charming as they packed me off to 1066 Country with a weekend in Hastings learning about smugglers, wandering through castles and cloisters.

A few weeks back we were invited over to England by VisitBritain, for the weekend to explore a bit of what 1066 Country has to offer. The region is best known for the Battle of Hastings which took place in 1066, hence the moniker! We stayed in several lovely hotels with some of the most charming rooms and ideal locations for exploring the region.
