This picturesque village in East Sussex is nestled in a tranquil valley surrounded by rolling hills and woodlands. The village is famous for its historic ford, where the River Rother flows gently through the centre, creating a serene and idyllic atmosphere. The old stone cottages, many of which date back to the 16th century, line the village streets, their rustic charm enhanced by the abundance of colourful flowers and lush greenery. Visitors can stroll along the riverbank, explore the village's quaint shops and tea rooms, and enjoy the peaceful ambiance of this hidden gem.
On a hot day great place to dip your toes with young ones (not really suitable for under 2's). Also great place for small open swim as middle nice and deep. No toilets or benches so bring a towel to sit on. As it's small sometimes on really hot weekends can be too busy Park on the road
Beautiful little spot. Nice to have a little wander and sit by the water or if its a nice day go for a little paddle. Also every time I've been it's been pretty quiet and not many people about which is a bonus. Real beauty spot.
A lovely spot on a warm day to cool down. Not as picturesque as it used to be not the big concert tree has been removed however still a nice spot.
ROAD PERMANENTLY CLOSED YOU WILL NOT GET PAST THE FORD
Took my partner here as he had never seen a Ford before. Unfortunately the road was closed at the time (unsure why but lots of road closed signs) so we were not able to drive through it but we could drive up to it and walk on the bridge. I understand people go in the water during the summer months although we had no intention of that. Very pretty little area to drive to but nothing else there (ie you couldn't really park up and spend more than 10 mins there). Just simply a nice little piece of Norfolk landscape to visit in passing.
Beautiful and unspoilt with pretty little surrounding villages to explore.
