A great family day out. Lots to see and do. Individual audio guides were very useful and informative although we did have some problems with it initially, overall they were very good. A good mix of indoor and outdoor spaces. The battlefield trail with carved wooden sculptures was an enjoyable walk and not too long. Just a pity that a couple of the sculptures were damaged, which was a real shame. Car parking charges were very reasonable and a wander around the town is also worthwhile to explore some nice eateries.

This was so much better than expected - enhanced by some Halloween activities. There was an excellent welcome from a knight ( great role play) and the ruins were much bigger than we thought . We had taken our 5 year old grandchild as she’s studying 1066 and have to say the visitor centre was amazing . We all watched the video and it was informative and kept all the children viewing it engaged . I’m a retired primary teacher and would definitely visit here with a class if I was local . The walk to the battle field takes you past figures of knights etc. All volunteers /employees were friendly and the cafe was reasonably priced with good range prices of food . A great morning out

We have visited this site before and this year decided to stay in South Lodge, a cottage on the site of the 1066 battle of Hastings. Unfortunately the extremely wet weather prevented us from exploring the Battlefield Walk. However, South Lodge was a delight. Clean, cosy and beautifully equipped - we had a lovely stay. The broadband is a little sketchy, but everything else was great. The welcome hamper was comprehensive and most enjoyable.

We’ve visited Battle Abbey a number of times over the years at various times of the year, in various months/seasons. We’ve never yet been able to walk the Battle Walk as it always has a sign on the gate saying it’s closed due to the weather. This is disappointing as we’d love to be able to get down to the far end of the site. I understand at this time of year, particularly as we’ve had a lot of rain lately, but I hope one summer we manage to visit when it is finally reopened. Plenty of room to explore the site and lots on information available. Facilities are good too.

Excellent place to visit as a family. I was a bit worried we'd pay the entrance and we'd walk around a field but it was so much more. The audio tour really helped to set the scene and lead the way and we would really recommend. The children loved these too. Exhibition in visitor centre was interesting. Cafe was lovely and the children loved the small but different playpark. All the staff working about were very helpful, friendly and welcoming. An afternoon well spent.

Been to Battle Abby every year since 1979 . October . To re-visit , King Harold's marker . 😪😔 . A sad day for Saxon England . Its a Great day out for the whole family . A memorable experience .

Arrived late in the day due to lots of detours and was greeted by charming staff, with a site volunteer offering to give us a private guided tour. Chris was very pleasant, knowledgeable, and we saw all the important parts plus some hidden gems and finished just as the shop was closing. Fortunately the weather was lovely as it is all outdoors. Being an English Heritage pass holder gets free admission and parking.

Really enjoyed our visit. It was a lovely sunny day and it was delightful to walk around the grounds and the battlefield. Sat in the walled garden in the shade for a bit enjoying the birdsong. The exhibitions, the old buildings and the ruins was fascinating to look around. Loved the

Went during half term with the kids to learn some history as we heard a lot about the Bayeaux Tapestry but never visited Battle. There is the Abbey, Gatehouse and The actual battlefield! This is an English Heritage site and is free for members. I have to say we were pleasantly surprised as there was quite a bit to do, the exhibition, the Abbey, the walk round the Battlefield and there were events run by EH during the day! We also went on the day the town outside was doing a medieval fayre _ activities for the kids and craft stores. A lovely day out!

Wow. This is an excellent overall glimpse into what moulded England and a few others of us. As per usual the audio in a heritage site is totally fantastic. Do go the whole battle walk if you can as fantastically informative and will not disappoint. The whole experience is well worth it. Highly recommend. Good clean toilets and good cafe.
