Overview

This is a walk of around 11.5 miles, starting from Northiam and following the Sussex Border Path west towards Bodiam Castle via Ewhurst Green and crossing the Kent and East Sussex railway. We head north through the castle grounds before looping back for the lunch stop.

The return leg goes past Bodiam Station, before heading back in the direction of Ewhurst Green  and on towards Northiam.

This is an undulating walk with no strenuous hills.

Please bring a picnic lunch. There is a cafe and toilets at Bodiam Castle.

Dogs welcome on short leads where there is livestock.
