A glimpse of Bodiam Castle

Spending a few days in the Weald down on the Kent and Sussex borders, which makes a refreshing change after the recent heat of Lisbon where the temperature was 40˚C and more last week. This afternoon we went on a short wander through the lanes past Bodiam Castle and then onto Ewhurst Green to Northiam with a swift glance at Great Dixter.

Heading from Northiam to Newenden we were stopped by the level crossing waiting for the steam train on the restored Kent & Sussex Railway to depart from Northiam Station heading towards Tenterden.
