Overview

Note. Change to programme

This is a circular walk going through marshland, open fields, and woodland. 
Herstmonceux is a village with many claims to fame, and the walk reveals some of these !

The ground was firm when recently walked , however this could change, and there maybe some mud therefore,   poles advised. There are also several stiles.
