Circular

If you have a bit more time and energy, this second route option is basically an extension of the first walk.

This option enjoys more walking alongside the Royal Military Canal and more exploring in the lovely countryside around this area including a visit to a lovely wind mill and a mild climb over Hog Hill.

Of course, it also takes you around the village of Winchelsea itself, with it's pub and church.
