History and happy times

First visit to this site at Battle despite living within 30 miles and being frequent visitors to Hythe for weekends and short breaks but we will now be alternating between the two from now on. This is a lovely site, very well maintained with excellent wardens who couldn’t have made us feel more welcome. Some pitches are in small or even single bays while others are in slightly larger configurations. There is an excellent children’s play area and ball sports area for the children on site. There are lots of places of interest to visit within a short drive, Battle Abbey itself, Batemans and Bodiam Castle to name but a few, and Hastings has lots to do for old and young alike. There is a nice walk from the site to the nearby village which had a little shop, a pub and a sausage shop in it. This is on the 1066 trail so keen walkers can easily walk further in either direction. Rye has a lovely nature reserve at the harbour and a pretty town centre with interesting shops too. We were there for 9 nights and still had plenty of places on our list to visit so a return visit is certain. No WiFi is a bit on an issue in this day and age but there was a good mobile signal (both 3G and 4G on O2 anyway) so not a disaster if you know how to set up a personal hotspot for downloading newspapers (sold in the shop to order too) etc. It would also have been nice to have had some information panels about the layout of the site in relation to the old Normanhurst Court of which many features are still evident like they have done with the old gunpowder factory in Kendal.
