This walk lets you explore an unspoilt corner of East Sussex and throws you the keys to the magnificent moated 14th-century ruins of Bodiam Castle, one of England's most romantic locations.
From Bodiam, the route follows the Rother Valley upstream to Robertsbridge, past tiny villages and hop farms – this is beer country! You'll have the opportunity to stop off and sample locally brewed pints in several pubs along the way.
And to make the day truly special, choose the gourmet lunch option at The Curlew, a pub which has been commended for its fine food by the world-renowned Michelin Red Guide. It's a fabulous three-course meal that you won't forget in a hurry.
