The West Hill Lift, first opened in 1891, retains its original wooden Victorian coaches. It runs through a tunnel, very unusual for a funicular railway!
The lift's charming lower station is in traffic-free historic George Street which is full of independent cafés, pubs, art shops and bookshops.
The West Hill itself offers some of the town's most remarkable views, stretching round to Beachy Head in the west and out across the English Channel. You'll also find Hastings Castle and Smugglers Adventure (please check opening times).
Unfortunately, due to the original carriages, the West Hill Lift is not wheelchair accessible as there is no step-free access. There is limited access on the carriages for push chairs. You can also reach the West Hill via road.
The East Hill Lift has ramp access.
Well behaved dogs are welcome.
