Activities
We are camping at a very scenic location in the beautiful Rother Valley on the Sussex / Kent border. We will have campfires and barbecues. Campsite is a short walk from the famous Bodiam Castle (preserved steam railway next door) and has a wealth of stunning Kent gardens and villages to explore. Early arrivals on Friday can join us on short walk to Bodiam, with pub meal by the castle.
On Saturday we plan a 12-mile circular walk through the orchards, gardens and wildflower meadows of the garden of England. We will climb to the picturesque village of Ewhurst Green before descending to Northiam for lunch by the riverside. Return leg is via Windmill and Bodiam Castle (cream teas at National Trust tea gardens). Option to shorten walk by steam railway or ferry ride. Barbecue and campfire in the evening.
On Sunday we plan to explore the award-winning gardens at Great Dixter, created by Christopher Lloyd. The gardens have an amazing range, and surround a 15th century manor adapted by Lutyens. Also, option to travel on the East Sussex and Kent steam railway to Tenterden and back.
