Best Hikes to The Watcher Sculpture on the 1066 Country Walk

Tips

  • The Watcher is one of the evocative sculptures along the long-distance 1066 Country Walk route. This sentry is beautifully carved from wood and watches for the invading army. He stands by Wickham Manor Farm.

  • The year 1066 was a year of particular historical significance on both the French and English sides of the English Channel: William, Duke of Normandy, went to England with his army, where he defeated King Harold militarily and made a career by ascending the throne himself.
    The story of his victorious campaign was recorded in a very expressive depiction on a richly illustrated carpet. This "Tapisserie de Bayeux" - which has been preserved to this day and is even a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its importance - is on display in a museum there and can be found here as a komoot hiking highlight:
