Bodiam

About

Bodiam, nestled in the picturesque East Sussex countryside, is a charming village renowned for its iconic medieval castle and idyllic surroundings. A wonderful collection of attractions creates a tapestry of historical, leisure and nostalgic experiences, making Bodiam a truly multifaceted place to visit on the Sussex border with Kent.

At the heart of this historic settlement stands Bodiam Castle, a magnificent fortress constructed in 1385, whose impressive silhouette, surrounded by a wide moat creates a scene straight from a fairy tale.

For those with a penchant for nostalgic travel, just a short walk from the castle is Bodiam Station, currently the southern terminus for the Kent & East Sussex heritage railway, where locomotives transport visitors back in time to the golden age of steam travel.

Alternatively, catch the Danny Lee for a relaxing river boat journey to Bodiam Boating Station where rowing boats, kayaking and paddleboarding are all available. The boating station adds a touch of leisure and relaxation to the historical tapestry of Bodiam. Get active too at The Hub, at Quarry Farm where a range of activities, including water sports, is on offer.
