Pevensey Castle

This was a short, circular route while on Holiday in Eastbourne.  We were staying so close to the Castle, it seem silly not to walk to it.  The Castle was once on the coast, and was William the Conqueror's landing place.  Thanks to coastal changes and land reclamation, it is now over a mile inland.

We spent a lot of time exploring both the Castle and the villages of both Westham and Pevensey, so the route shows a lot of 'squiggles' while there.

I didn't take many pictures of the route.  It wasn't long and was well signposted from the A259 to the Castle.

There's a bridge here somewhere
