A Walk through the English Countryside and a Castle

This past Saturday my roommate and I set out on a great adventure to see the Bodiam Castle. It is a well preserved English Castle built by a Lord in the 1300s and located near the site of the Battle of Hastings in 1066. This Castle is not located near a train station and therefore requires either a car or a long walk...


We got off the train as near as possible to the Castle in Robertsbridge




Robertsbridge is a charming little English town...




We walked past a field and breathed in the fresh air...




An old church where a wedding took place...




Over a babbling brook...




More open fields and farms...





we were actually a bit lost in the woods...





Out into a clearing and around the bend...




Finally the castle http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-bodiamcastle





On the way back we walked past The Castle Inn.




Then we walked over a bridge...




past an old graveyard...





We were soooo hungry so we stopped at one of the fifty best Pubs in England and ate a wonderful handmade pizza...



we washed down the Pizza with a Pint of Harvey's Bitter.



Then we were back in Robertsbridge and we walked past a cricket match...



then back to the train station!
