Peasmarsh Church circular

PARKING & ASSEMBLY

There should be space to park along Church Lane on the same side as the church as there is no service on the 25th October. You may want to come early to visit this church with its beautiful ironstone chancel arch and carved animals.

We aim to start walking at 10:45.

TOILET

Possibly available at start and end of the walk.

LUNCH

We will stop for lunch. Please bring your own favourite sustenance and something to sit on. We will probably have a second brief stop for a snack and sit down.

OUR WALK

This circular walk is an easy 7.5 mile walk exploring apple orchards, grassy fields, and hidden bridleways. There are big skies and excellent views. From the church we head to Peasmarsh and a wildlife conservation area followed by apple orchards and Iden Park, a former Victorian rectory. From there we work our way south towards Rye dropping down to the River Tillingham. Finally, we walk through fields of sheep with a gradual incline back up to the church. Paths and tracks are well used and in good condition. There are a few sturdy stiles. We only undulate a total ascent of 217m/712ft.

Depending on the weather, I may do the route in reverse - either way works.
