Battle Abbey.

Marvel at the incredible architecture of the atmospheric abbey, near to which the Battle of Hastings reached its gruesome climax; visitors can stand upon the very spot of the battlefield where King Harold was struck in the eye by the arrow that changed the course of English history forever. Feel the cold weight of original metal armour and enjoy interactive exhibitions that reveal the traditions of the Norman community.
