We’re a thriving public and private sector partnership, bringing together Rother District Council, Wealden District Council, Tourism South East, National Trust and English Heritage alongside scores of private businesses like yours.
We promote 1066 Country as a high-quality, all-year-round destination to both day and staying visitors, prioritising families, cultural explorers and the iGeneration. We target the south east of England within a three-hour drive, and our key overseas markets include Northern Europe, China and the USA.
We’re committed to developing the tourism industry in our area, currently worth over £554m a year and supporting 12,600 jobs.
The Battle of Hastings is the most famous event in English history and it happened right here in the heart of 1066 Country.
Our internationally recognised brand is built around a stunning 378 square mile area of historic coast and countryside that includes Battle, Bexhill, Hastings and Rye and stretches from Herstmonceux to Camber and north to Bodiam and Burwash.
With a flourishing arts scene and a busy, quirky events calendar, visitors love our combination of culture and tradition.
