Ruins of Sutton Valence Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

Sutton Valence Castle is a ruined Norman keep that was built in the 12th century. From 1238, the strongly-defended castle was owned by Simon de Montfort, who led the baronial rebellion against Henry VIII. When de Monfort was killed at the Battle of Evesham in 1265, Henry III gave the castle to his half-brother William de Valence, as a reward for his loyalty. From the castle, you get an incredible panorama over East Sussex and the Weald of Kent. The castle, which is owned by English Heritage, is free to enter during daylight hours.

St James' Church Egerton

Highlight • Religious Site

St James' Church dates to the 13th century and is built of Kentish ragstone. Nestling among trees on the outskirts of Egerton, the church stands in a prominent position and is a landmark for miles around. The church, which is Grade I-listed, has a wonderfully-serene atmosphere. The Greensand Way passes through the churchyard.
