π¬π§ Hastings | A Day Between Hills and Sea ππ
A perfect half-day escape from London for just Β£15 roundtrip (2h from Clapham Junction). Though I missed the famed cliff railway (opening in April!), Hastings still stole my heart. π Itinerary π Hastings Beach A quick 10-min walk from the station to pebbled shores. Stroll toward the cliffs! π West Hill (Must-visit!) Noon magic: Emerald grasslands so vivid, they look Photoshopped. Best views overall! π Blue Dolphin Fish Bar Cod & chips (Β£7): Massive portion (almost too filling), though flavor was just okayβthink Filet-O-Fish minus the bun. π East Hill Less impressive: Dead branches block the vista. Pro tip: Ride the railway (next time!), then hurry back to West Hill for sunset! πΈ Where seagulls outnumber people, and hills glow like neon. #Hastings #LondonDayTrips #SeasideEscape #UKTravel
