The West Hill Lift provides access up the cliff to Hastings Castle and St. Clement's caves from George Street. It was originally opened in 1891 and for the most part runs through a tunnel. It is 150m long and rises 50m.
A return ticket costs 2,80 Pounds per adult in 2017.

Exciting to go up there. Especially for children an experience. You can also drive only one direction and the other run.
