CLIFF RAILWAYS

The West Hill funicular leaves from Albion Lane, at the junction with George Street, and climbs through a tunnel to St Clement's Caves and Hastings Castle. The East Hill one leaves from Rock-a-Nore Road, at the Fishermen's Museum, and climbs up the outside of the hill, offering spectacular views. In fact, it's the steepest funicular railway in England. It's a not-to-be-missed landmark of the city, with its old Victorian-style carriages, a little old-fashioned but charming. Once at the top, you're treated to spectacular views over the region.
