The stained glass windows are lovely on a sunny day

lovely pub

Extensive forest and home to the National Pinetum. Many miles of great trails for family cycling and mountain biking, walking and running.

The pub is busy, but I wandered past. The church and church yard in Salehurst are worth a visit.

The brick-built bridge is very picturesque.

Although their foundation often dates back more than a century – many were erected after the First World War (1914 to 1918) – they are by no means mere relics of a bygone era. The message of the almost ubiquitous "War Memorials," which continue to commemorate the victims of war and tyranny in villages and towns, remains relevant today. Despite certain similar basic patterns, the design of the memorials varies from place to place. But what they all have in common is the urgent appeal to remind us – each generation anew – of the necessity of preserving peace.

As a memorial to the many dead, such monuments - usually called "war memorials" in English - are still very important today. "Now, Lord, you let your servant depart in peace, as you have said..." says the so-called "Hymn of Simeon" (Luke's Gospel, Chapter 2, Verse 29). However, the people who are remembered here did not depart in peace, but became victims of war and tyranny. Therefore, the term "fallen memorial" is now sometimes used in German instead of the previously more common "war memorial".

Almost opposite Bodiam Castle, this idyllic inn offers a huge beer garden (the kids can run around on the grass), traditional pub food and delicious drinks, including 2 local wines! Inside, you can sit in a rustic, cozy atmosphere, and the service is friendly despite the crowds!
