Close by there is a good choice of pubs. For those who enjoy cycling, why not bring your bikes and cycle the Cuckoo Trail, which is 14 miles of surfaced pathway meandering through the Sussex countryside to Eastbourne Park? Keen walkers, pack those walking boots and try out the 1066 walk, a low-level route through the countryside that witnessed the Norman Conquest. Starting at passing Herstmonceux Castle, the historic 1066 Battle Abbey, and Battlefield, medieval Winchelsea, ending in historic Rye.
