Exploring a Wonderful Castle in Sussex - Bodiam Castle Walking Tour

In our first adventure of 2024, we visit an wonderful castle.
We visited Bodiam Castle, it is located in East Sussex, UK. We have been meaning to visit for a long time, it has so much history and is such a picturesque castle. It is one of those that looks like something a kid would draw when they are drawing castles.
Bodiam Castle is a 14th-century moated castle near Robertsbridge in East Sussex, England. It was built in 1385 by Sir Edward Dalyngrigge, a former knight of Edward III, with the permission of Richard II, ostensibly to defend the area against French invasion during the Hundred Years' War. Of quadrangular plan, Bodiam Castle has no keep, having its various chambers built around the outer defensive walls and inner courts. Its corners and entrance are marked by towers, and topped by crenellations. Its structure, details and situation in an artificial watery landscape indicate that display was an important aspect of the castle's design as well as defence. It was the home of the Dalyngrigge family and the centre of the manor of Bodiam.

Very informative, lovely music. Two of my favourite castles, Bodium and Dover.

[@theperambulators]

We had fun at Bodiam, will have to check out Dover at some point too!

I love old castle's and the history behind them. That was beautiful! Thank you for not talking and just having some soft/Renaissance type music. It was very relaxing watching the video.

[@theperambulators]

Thank you so much. We like visiting places like this but we are definitely not ‘in front of camera’ type people 😂

Great memories of catching the Steam train from Tenterden to Bodiam.

[@theperambulators]

I think we may have to visit there for a video

[@GarethLewes]

What a wonderful castle! ❤

[@theperambulators]

It really is! ❤️

[@MalHope-j9z]

It's worth catching the Steam train from Kent & East Sussex Railway, Bodiam to Tenterden too...🚂

[@theperambulators]

Ooh, I remember riding that when I was really young. We may have to revisit that. Thanks for the suggestion ❤️

The Spa Valley Railway from Tunbridge Wells, is a nice day out. When you get back to the Station its worth shopping at the Pantiles , where there are a variety of specialist shops, art galleries, cafés, restaurants and bars, each offering their own particular style of trading. Festivals involving Jazz, Food and Fashion are frequent along with fortnightly Farmers’ and Craft Markets showcasing the best of the region’s talent....

[@theperambulators]

That is a great idea! We have been looking at visiting Tunbridge Wells but we are not sure what we would film…forgot the Pantiles existed 😅

[@MalHope-j9z]

@@theperambulators Tunbridge Wells Museum & Art Gallery is a good visit...

[@theperambulators]

We could probably get a couple of videos out of that ❤️ The railway could be its own one
