Sussex Walks
These walks explore the historic Pevensey Castle and the surrounding East Sussex countryside.
From a short, gentle loop around the castle grounds to longer routes that venture into the Pevensey Levels and alongside the River Pevensey Haven, the walks offer a mix of heritage, riverside paths, and open countryside.
While the longer routes provide a more extensive countryside experience, please take care when crossing the busy bypass road on the way.

Walk information
This is a lovely short family-friendly stroll around the grounds of the wonderful Pevensey Castle where you'll find the remains of a Saxon Fort from the 4th century.
There is a fee to get into the castle itself, so check their website if you want to explore further, but this route uses public rights of way around the site.
Walk information
This second route also visits the lovely Pevensey Castle site, but it then takes you off on a little countryside walk to the north of Pevensey and into the Pevensey Levels.
It joins a bit of the 1066 country walk and tracks the Pevensey Haven River for a while too, making this a nice varied walk.
The only downside of the route is you have to cross the busy and fast bypass road a couple of times on the route, so please be very careful when doing this.

Great walk
Walk information
This final route from Pevensey Castle is basically an extension to the second route that takes you much further into the Pevensey Levels Nature Reserve and enjoys a much longer walk alongside the River.
As with the second route, it's a lovely walk, but you do have to cross the bypass road.
