The UK’s steepest funicular railway is a structure of national importance and a source of immense local pride.
Opened in 1902, it has long looked out onto Europe's largest beach-launched fishing fleet on The Stade. It provides thousands of visitors and residents easy access to Hastings Country Park and some of the most spectacular vantage points over the town.
It has become an enduring symbol of the unique charm and character of Hastings, a symbol that was able to withstand two world wars and the fast-changing tides of the last one-and-a-quarter centuries.
The East Hill Lift has step-free access and a space for wheelchair/prams but is not suitable for larger size mobility scooters.
Well behaved dogs are welcome.
