Westham Circular Walk via Pevensey Castle

Event:
A circular walk of about 5.5 miles starting and finishing at Westham Village Hall, walking west towards Jenkins Green and back via Hankham Level along part of the 1066 route. We will also pass through Pevensey Castle.
We will walk at a medium to leisurely pace and there will be interesting features to stop and look at along the way. The terrain is not particularly challenging.
We will take a 20 minute break during the walk. It should be dry but you might want to bring something to sit on. There will not be an opportunity to purchase food during the walk, so please bring a packed lunch if you wish to eat anything when we take the break.
