Revisiting Hastings Pier

We recently visited Hastings for the first time since 2015 and it was great to have a walk on the new pier. We'd only ever been on it once before back in 2008.

Hastings Pier

We were really impressed with what has been built following the fire which almost totally destroyed it in 2010.

The end of the pier is a nice wide-open space. We've visited a lot of piers on our travels and Hastings Pier is certainly different to most

We visited the pier just after the Hastings Pier Yarn Bomb had opened!

While we were on the pier on Sunday we spotted an ice cream cart going round offering free knitted ice creams! They were gluten free to boot

The old Rotunda Arnold Palmer Putting Course in Folkestone is now a brilliant permanent Art Installation by Richard Wilson - called 18 Holes. It was built for the Folkestone Triennial art event in the town in 2008.

As an aside to the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour visit to the 'course', here are two near identical photos with which to play 'Spot The Difference'?
