right, you thought Hastings was just a day trip. this ebook will make you see it properly I wasnt even going to put this out there but after that heatwave, the seagulls acting like they own the town and half the place queueing for cold drinks like we were in Spain, I thought sod it. people deserve the real Hastings, not the watered down version you get from a quick visit and a chippy. This isnt a glossy tourist guide. its the notebook I kept while I got to know the town properly. the early morning walks through the Old Town, the bits of St Leonards people skip, the paths up East Hill that catch you off guard, and the little corners that make you think, alright then, this place has got something about it. Inside Hastings By Heart, you get the good stuff. where to go when the light is best. where to park without losing your rag. which cafes still do a proper cuppa. the quieter spots to escape the crowds. and the bits locals know but dont always say out loud because half the fun is finding them yourself. It saves you time, gives you better days out, and makes Hastings feel less like somewhere you passed through and more like somewhere that stays with you. If you live here, youll probably nod along and laugh at a few bits because you know exactly what I mean. If youre new, it will help you settle in quicker and see why people end up falling for the place. Theres also a couple of proper finds in there I nearly walked straight past because I couldnt be bothered that day. turned out to be some of the best bits I found. that part alone has had people messaging me saying, how have I lived here this long and never known that That is exactly why I wrote it. Want the real Hastings. the one people dont always show you. grab Hastings By Heart and have a proper look for yourself
