A conifer-based woodland just outside the famous town of Battle, where the Battle of Hastings took place, Battle Great Wood is a wonderful place to explore. Will well-maintained trails and a tremendous sense of quiet, you can amble here for hours. The 1066 Country Walk long-distance trail passes right through the centre of the wood, and a wooden sculpture of a crown lies in the heart.
