Robertsbridge to Battle
A station-to-station walkSussexSouth East England
An enjoyable but not especially scenic route, easy to follow, with a variety of gradients through landscape, villages and views. A number of difficult stiles, either damaged or high and several crossings of the A21. Mud is bearable but the route would be difficult after rainfall; some sections are hard to push through brambles and nettles. Wildlife seen along the route includes roe deer, buzzards, orchids and clouds of butterflies.
Woodland: a quarter under tree cover.
Warnings: There are several crossings of the A21, though on straight sections that are fairly safe to cross. A number of stiles are damaged or high, and brambles and nettles make a few sections hard to push through, so long sleeves and trousers are advisable. Can be difficult after rainfall. Can be muddy.
