Children's activities near Nab Cottage

If your child has a BMX bike then they might enjoy the Bexhill BMX track on Sidley Recreation Ground. It's a 10-15 minute walk, depending on the route you take, to the bottom of Windmill Drive where you can access the park. There's also a path around the perimeter of the track, for walking dogs, and the recreation field where dogs are allowed, plus a little stream if they fancy a paddle or need a drink.

The Observatory Science Centre at Herstmonceux Castle, is about 20 minutes' drive from Nab Cottage. They run educational workshops for children in two age groups, 6-8 years and 9-11 years.

The Smugglers Adventure in St. Clements Caves in Hastings is a popular attraction, and can be combined with a trip on the funicular railway up to Hastings Castle.

Hastings Museum  and Art Gallery is very  child-friendly, with dressing-up boxes and puzzles to complete, plus challenges for older children.

Bexhill has a public swimming pool at the Ravenside shopping complex, next to Marks and Spencer.  Hastings and Eastbourne have public pools too.
