About

Castle ward encompasses the historic core of Hastings, centred around the ruins of its Norman castle atop the West Hill. The area is defined by steep, narrow streets like the Old Town's High Street, lined with timber-framed buildings and independent shops. The Stade fishing beach, with its distinctive net sheds and working fleet, forms its eastern boundary.

The ward includes the East Hill cliff, accessible by a funicular railway, offering expansive views over the town and English Channel. The Jerwood Gallery is a prominent cultural venue on the seafront. This area remains a working community, with the daily fish market and local pubs integral to its character, distinct from the more commercial central seafront.
