Smugglers Adventure Caves is located on Hastings’ West Hill, overlooking the Old Town and seafront. Visitors can reach us by the West Hill Cliff Railway, on foot via signposted paths, or by car via the A259 or A21. Parking is available on Priory Road and nearby residential streets. Hastings Station is around a 20-minute walk away, with regular train and bus services. Alternative walking and driving routes are available if the cliff railway is closed.

There are 40 steps down to the entrance of the attraction. Due to the attraction being set inside a natural cave, there are many uneven floors, a low tunnel, and slippery surfaces, making the caves inaccessible by wheelchair. Pushchairs are not permitted inside but can be left in the buggy park. We recommend bringing a baby sling should you need one.
