Cliff Railways - West Hill

Hastings


The United Kingdom's steepest funicular railway, the West Hill Lift has its original wooden Victorian coaches, and also runs through a tunnel, which is very unusual for a funicular railway.

The lift's lower station is in traffic-free George Street which is full of continental-style cafés, 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 Channel.
