WALKS IN 1066 COUNTRY
Westfield resident Nick Brown has drawn upon his many years of running and walking in the 1066 area to produce an exciting selection of 14 routes, varying from 3.33 to 8.50 miles. Stunning photos, fascinating snippets of local history and easy to follow maps accompany the routes which include Herstmonceux, Battle, Crowhurst, Steven’s Crouch, Sedlescombe, Brede, Guestling, Icklesham, Pett Level, Rye, Bodiam and Northiam. Dog walkers in particular are advised on the likelihood of meeting sheep and cows on each route; these are graded for degree of difficulty. Some of these relatively “undiscovered” routes will enable you to enjoy this magnificent countryside at its very best!
The new publication is recommended by the Tourist Board, and 30% of the author’s proceeds will go to St. Michael’s Hospice, Hastings.
