The River Ouse meanders its way from Lower Beeding, through both West and East Sussex, to the sea in Newhaven. On a good day, you'll likely see many paddleboarders, kayakers and swimmers round here, but also keep an eye out for wildlife, especially Kingfishers.

You could easily walk right on by, perhaps admire the church spire, and continue without ever realising there's a castle here. When you pause and look though, the remaining earthworks are easy to see, with origins harking back to before the Norman conquest. Low-lying, the castle relied on the waterways around to provide defence and Harold Godwinson is alleged to have spent the night here just before the Battle of Hastings. The castle itself was built after, when the manor was given to William de Warenne.

Excellent food and river views but gets very busy at weekends. Expect a long wait for food. They don’t take bookings.

The bridleway passes through Culpeper Nature Reserve; a local rewilding site named after the herbalist and botanist Thomas Culpeper who grew up in Isfield and Lewes.
