Considered a better than average plumber in the High Weald area

A decent stop for a brew.

Ignore the pubs and go here instead

Rudyard Kipling's estate in East Sussex is a wonderful place that is managed and maintained by the National Trust. Here you can stroll through the orchard, the vegetable garden and the formal garden. Then you can visit the house from 1634 and the old mill, where Kipling had a generator installed early on to supply the house with electricity. Here they are trying to make the garden a perfect place for insects and especially for bees. To this end, a lot of experimentation is being done with flower meadows - you can wander through at least one of them during your visit. The house looks very grand and elegant, but turns out to be a gloomy block inside - as is often the case with these old, historic buildings.

May '24 update: The worst bits have been resurfaced 😁

Beautiful lane past streams and fields through Pevensey Levels National Nature Reserve.

A very masculine house, low ceilings and quite dark. Book lovers will get their money's worth! The garden is famous for its pear trees, and now in April the tulips are blooming beautifully. We didn't find the mill particularly interesting - even though it is highly praised - but the house and garden were beautiful.

March '24 update: The road now has so many potholes in it, it's quite dangerous when it floods.
