1066 Country

I am a retired Primary school teacher who has worked with children for over 30 years. I enjoy the outdoors and exploring new places. I love listening to and playing music, visiting art galleries and yoga.
As a family we have hosted students from all over the world and enjoy supporting them during their stay with us. I get great satisfaction from helping others and ensuring that young people always feel safe, comfortable and happy.
East Sussex is an area of outstanding natural beauty and benefits from a stunning coastline, dramatic downland and the busy cosmopolitan city of Brighton. It is a popular holiday destination due to the seaside towns of Eastbourne and Hastings which offer a wide variety of fun activities for all the family. In addition to this, there are many historical sites to visit including Hastings Castle and its fascinating Old Town and fishing port, Battle Abbey and Bodium Castle.
As well as the beautiful countryside of East Sussex, the South Downs and Cuckmere Haven with its winding river valley, is also an interesting area to explore. The Seven Sisters Country park offers visitors guides and local information plus how to see the historic Beachey Head lighthouse. There are many beautiful walks and of course the open top bus. The city of Brighton offers visitors a chance to explore Brighton Pavillion, the Cathedral, Pier and famous Brighton Lanes shopping area. There are many Theatres, cinemas, Amex stadium for premiership football and county cricket ground.
About the Area
1066 country has uplifting scenery, tranquil majestic villages, clean beaches and historic castles.
I live on the outskirts of Eastbourne, near to Birling Gap, a popular coastal hub between the South Downs and the sea. It’s an area of outstanding natural beauty, where the world-famous Seven Sisters chalk cliffs meet one of the longest stretches of undeveloped coastline on the south coast.
Not far away is Battle, the site of the Battle of Hastings 1066. In fact, there are six famous castles in 1066 country to explore and enjoy. This area is set deep in history, with ancient settlements and rich lanscapes to inspire your imagination. If you like countryside, sea, history and culture this is a wonderful place to be.
