The Castle ward sits at the heart of Hastings in East Sussex, England. It covers the crowded, narrow lanes of the Old Town, the shingle seafront known as The Stade and the wooded slopes up to the ruins of Hastings Castle on West Hill, giving steep streets and broad views out to the English Channel.
The area blends a still‑active fishing community and maritime heritage with a lively independent retail and arts scene, so the local economy mixes tourism, small businesses and traditional trades. Its long history from the Norman castle remains to seafaring traditions, together with strong community events, gives the ward a distinctive historic and cultural character.
