Pevensey Travel Guide

 Mariajoy Says:  Every Saturday night, whatever the weather, for 51 weeks of the year except the first one after Christmas, you can meet Mr Slater at 7.30 in Pevensey Castle Car Park for a guided ghost walk! He lights the lantern at dusk and takes who ever turns up on a walk around the... 

 planxty Says:  Norman churches abound all over the UK, but the one in Westham (which is adjacent to Pevensey) is apparently the first, built in 1080. Although the sign exhorts you to come and visit it, when I went it was shut! It seems it's only open at service times. It is, however, an... 

 planxty Says:  Although, this place is predominantly an hotel and restaurant, I popped in there for a quick drink. It really is an amazing old half-timbered building dating to the 17th century. The bar at the rear of the building is an absolute treasure, very "Olde Worlde" as you would... 

 planxty Says:  This little museum is situated in the old 16th century Courthouse, complete with two cells downstairs. the building itself is interesting enough, with the old courtroom set out as it was centuries ago. The exhibits are also fascinating with all aspects of local life covered.... 

 planxty Says:  This will undoubtedly be the major reason for most people visiting Pevensey, and, indeed, it is well worth seeing.The castle has a huge history. It was first a Roman fort, covering a vast area and housing up to 1000 troops and their livestock. Difficult to imagine now, but... 

 Eilian Says:  See the church on High Street, closed to the St-Mary's school.The first church the norman built, in 1066 if I am right. An old cimetery (I love cimetery). Some kids's legends say there is even a tomb's statue that may look at you if you go at night.There a path on the back... 

 Eilian Says:  My first UK beer: Caffrey's (thanks to Irish people!).The photo don't show the CREAMY side of lovely Caffrey's, unfortunately.:-( 

 Eilian Says:  See the Pevensey Castle... And have a lunch inside the walls (I used to go buy a fish&chip and bring it right there!)One of the first castle built by normans (if not the first! - the church was the first the Normans built), William the Conquerer lived there.Wonderful view of... 

 planxty Says:  This is yet another English country pub serving good quality food.The pub itself dates to the 16th century and is all timber beams and the like. There is also a large garden area, and one particular armchair that, once sat down on, is almost impossible to get out of!The food... 

 Eilian Says:  Typical tes salon, in a lovely typical cottage!No picture, sorry! It is a tea salon, where you can also have a lunch (lights). Shame on me, I've never been. But my mom's friend told me it was a nice place. But money could only provided me some fish and chips on High Street! 

 Eilian Says:  This pub, for my first British pint. A real country pub.The pub is also an Inn!Family ambiance on sundays. There is also a backyard with picnic tables. I know there is food. But I've only took my first beer in England. 

 Eilian Says:  The Fish and chip on High street. I love fish & chip. I suggest you take it out to the castle near by and eat it on the hill, inside the walls. Enormous portion! Well, they may be cooking other things, but the fish and ship is nice.
