🚂 The £5 Steal of the Century: West Hill Cliff Railway!

📌 West Hill Cliff Railway, Hastings Why are Brits so quiet about this gem?! Tucked away in Hastings is the UK’s oldest, steepest funicular (since 1891!), with original Victorian wooden carriages that’ll make you feel like you’re in Temple Run IRL. 🚆 How to Get There 1️⃣ From London: Direct trains from London Bridge or Charing Cross (~2hrs). 2️⃣ Arrival: 15-min walk from Hastings station to the lower station: 📍 43 George St, TN34 3EA 💡 Pro Tips: ✅ At the top: Hastings Castle + Smugglers Adventure caves (pirate lore!). ✅ East Hill Cliff Railway (twin attraction) was closed for repairs when I went 😢. ✅ Views of The Stade—home to Europe’s largest beach-launched fishing fleet! ✅ Card payments only (no cash). #UKTravel #HiddenBritain #Hastings #BudgetAdventures
