Welcome to Castle Hill

Castle Hill is a historic site located in East Sussex, England. The castle was built in the 12th century and was used as a defensive structure during the Norman Conquest. The castle was later used as a residence for the Bishop of Chichester and was eventually abandoned in the 16th century. Today, the castle ruins are a popular tourist attraction and offer stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

In addition to the castle ruins, Castle Hill is also home to a beautiful garden. The garden was designed in the 18th century and features a variety of plants and flowers. Visitors can stroll through the garden and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The garden is also home to a number of sculptures and other works of art.

Castle Hill is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in history or architecture. The castle ruins are a testament to the rich history of the area and offer a glimpse into the past. The garden is a beautiful oasis and provides a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Whether you are a history buff or simply looking for a relaxing day out, Castle Hill is definitely worth a visit.

Sheepcote Valley
Nestled Inside The Horseshoe Shape Of Brighton Racecourse, Sheepcote Valley Is A Sudden Area Of Green Marking The Edge Of Brighton. Walk Immediately South Toward The Sea Parallel To The Race Track For Good Views Of The Coastal Brighton. You Could Continue Past The Golf Course To Kemp Town And Brighton Marina. However, I Wouldn't Be Tempted Into The Centre Section Of The Area. It's Quite Scrubby And Best Appreciated From A Distance. The Area Is Fenced Off, And Is Popular For Off-Lead Walking. Don't Let Your Dog Onto The Racecourse Itself Though. There Could Be Horses. 206 Warren Rd Brighton Lancashire BN2 6DD 2.19 miles A Small, Free Parking Area Off Warren Road Just As You Enter Woodingdean.
