A Visit to Bodiam Castle

Posted on 28th August 201928th August 2019 by Angela Wright

What can I say about my visit to Bodiam Castle except that I was super excited when I saw it. Not only did it look amazing but it was surrounded by a moat that was actually FULL of water!

Posted on 3rd March 20193rd March 2019 by Angela Wright

A circular walk in Marlesford is a great thing to do for a couple of hours, especially when it starts and ends at the wonderful Marlesford Farm Café and Shop.
