Sussex Walks
These walks around Battle offer a lovely mix of history, woodland, and rolling Sussex countryside.
The shorter route is a circular trip from the train station, taking in the majestic Great Wood with its gentle hills and peaceful trails.
The longer option builds on this, extending north to Caldbec Hill for more scenic views and countryside walking.
Both walks include quiet roadside stretches and finish with the chance to enjoy a welcoming pub in Battle, making them a perfect way to stretch your legs and soak up the local charm.
