Bodiam's perfect castle
Our view
Leave the car park and turn right, then left by the Castle Inn to walk left of the small village green along a lane marked ‘Private Road’ with views south across sports pitches towards Bodiam station on the Kent and East Sussex Railway, if lucky with a steam-hauled train simmering gently. Continue past The Old Cricket Pavilion, now a cottage, and ignore a right turn immediately after. At the next track T-junction you turn right uphill, the lane climbing to pass well to the right of some converted oasthouses.
At the crest and opposite a large modern farm building go right, then to a hand gate between two pairs of five-barred field gates. Descend between houses, through a gate by a power post, then turn right alongside a hedge, down and up to a stile towards the steeple of the Old School House. Over the stile go right alongside a hedge.
