A little more information on Battle

A thriving East Sussex village, Ninfield can be found about four miles north of Bexhill-on-Sea and about the same distance from the ancient town of Battle. It is believed that after the Battle of Hastings, William the Conqueror planted his standard on Standard Hill, located to the west. Although smuggling was common in Ninfield during the eighteenth century, the village has since regained its reputation as a peaceful Sussex community with classic pubs, a picturesque village green, and wonderful hiking trails with panoramic vistas of the surrounding countryside and the sea. Ninfield's location between Bexhill and Battle makes it an attractive destination. Bexhill-on-Sea, a classic seaside town and sophisticated resort, is home to numerous eateries and watering holes. It is also the site of the De La Warr Pavilion, which regularly hosts exhibitions, and the origin of British motor racing. The beach is dotted with homely beach huts that can be rented for the day, and the calm water is perfect for a variety of watersports. Members of the local Rowing Club are frequently spotted on the waves, and the Bexhill Sailing Club hosts a full schedule of racing events from March to November. Battle Abbey towers over the town's central square, and the surrounding streets are lined with similarly historic structures. Travel back in time at Yesterday's World, a living social museum, and then enjoy a traditional Sussex cream tea at one of the many nearby tea rooms. Holiday makers can enjoy themselves in both well-known and lesser-known spots in this region of Sussex.
