The 1066 Country Walk is a waymarked long-distance footpath or recreational walk along the coast and downs of southern Sussex, running for 31 miles.
The route
The route commemorates 1066, the year of the Battle of Hastings, and seeks to link the places and the people of that important year. It runs through from Pevensey where William of Normandy gathered his invading army of Normans and prepared to meet King Harold, to Rye, passing through Battle.
The walk is mainly low level and passes through rolling countryside beside oast houses, windmills and parts of the South Downs.
It links with the Saxon Shore Way.
