East Sussex

We spent a weekend in East Sussex, doing some ecology field work and checking out the local sights.

After completing work for the day we did a mini road trip in the area. First stop was Bodiam Castle, built in 1385 as a defence and home.

The exterior looks quite impressive, but the interior has deteriorated over the centuries.


Next stop was Rye. A very cute town near the coast with a population of approximately 4000. The town contains many historic buildings and narrow cobbled streets.

We made a quick stop off at the beach before heading back to London. It was much too cold to swim, but nice to get some fresh air and go for a wander along the beach anwyay.
