Sarcastic Mom Weekly winnersOn one of our excursions we stopped at
Battle Abbey shortly before Hastings. The Abbey is very old and was built around 1094. William the Conqueror had vowed to build an abbey where the Battle of Hastings had taken place, with the high altar of its church on the supposed spot where King Harold fell in that battle.
The little village around the Abbey was just beautiful
The main street with the Abbey
and a closer look
I just looked in the garden but didn't visit the abbey. First the entrance was quite expensive and second, I had seen so many of them that I wasn't really interested to see the inside.
On the main street there were a lot of little shops
One for me
and of course also Pubs
A lovely little place just in front of the Abbey
before we arrived in Hastings.
ooo I love the pubs...Great pictures

Ohhhhhhhh how I would LOVE to walk those streets! You know... I have never seen such odd LINES in the streets! Zig zag! I wonder what the purpose is in that? (maybe so if you have too much in the pub you THINK you are walking a straight line???) LOL!
