To get from Normandy to Hastings William had to cross the English Channel.
During World War II, the route chosen by the Allies to cross into France and begin liberating the mainland of Europe was the beach-dominated coast of Normandy, France. With this "D-Day" invasion of Normandy achieving success, the Allies then moved deeper into France (thence the rest of Europe) through both central and northern lines-of-advance in France.

The Normans did not have cannon at the Battle of Hastings. Cannon are derived from fire lances. The first known use of fire lances was at Da'en (in Jiangxi province China) in 1132. It isn't known exactly when the first gun capable of firing a projectile was developed. The first documented use of cannon in Europe was at the siege of Cordoba (Spain) in 1280.

The Normans - who originally came to Normandy from Scandinavia - had to cross the English Channel to sail to England. The Channel links the southern portion of the North Sea to the Atlantic Ocean.
William of Normandy faced challenges in crossing the English Channel due to adverse weather conditions and logistical issues, including the need to gather sufficient ships and troops for the invasion. Additionally, the timing was critical; any delay could have jeopardized his plans, as he aimed to capitalize on the political instability in England after King Edward the Confessor's death. Despite these hurdles, he eventually managed to cross successfully in 1066, leading to the Battle of Hastings.
