Description

Ecclesbourne Glen is a unique part of the Hastings Country Park, famous for its ancient gorge forest. This picturesque gorge has a unique microclimate that encourages the growth of rare mosses and liverworts found nowhere else in Europe.

The site also has a rich history - it was the landing point and entrance to an Iron Age fort. In 1819, a coast guard tower was built here, which was later moved to Firehills.

Numerous footpaths allow visitors to explore the natural beauty and observe rare fauna, including an important population of ash trees.

avatarmark Prysor-Jonesa year agoGood size car park, pay by phone only. Well marked trails, posts give info on distance as well as directions. Extremely muddy, to the point it was hard work even with wellies on in some places. Lovely walk, superb scenery, and lots to explore. Paths are a mix of mud, rock, and grass that are steep in places with uneven steps.
avatarSam Liddicoat2 years agoBeautiful walking trail between Hastings East Hill and Fairlight Cove. It's a varied and fun place to walk through but there are some muddy spots, so watch out if it's been raining! There are loads of different trails, some steeper than others, some with steps, some without.
avatarClare Knight6 years agoAmazing walk with breathtaking views. Melt your stress away. Some hills are hard but seats are situated in the perfect setting for taking it all in.
