East Hill Cliff Railway
From TrainSpottingWorld, for Rail fans everywhere
East Hill Cliff Railway (called locally the "East Hill Lift") located in Hastings, East Sussex opened on August 10, 1902. It is the steepest funicular railway in the United Kingdom and provides views over the Old Town and the stade, home to the largest beach launched fishing fleet in Europe. It provides access to Hastings Country Park via the East Hill, which overlooks the Old Town and Rock-a-nore, an area to the east of Hastings.
The East Hill Lift is paired by the West Hill Cliff Railway, giving visitors access to Hastings Castle.
