There are a number of difficult stiles to cross, either they are damaged or quite high (I'm only 5'2)....

The section through Combe Wood and along the disused railway line was an improvement on the 1066 route, but the short section of road walking between the pub and the church in Crowhurst is not worth it. Stick to the signed route through the fields on the edge of the village. The Combe Valley Country Park at the edge of Bexhill passes over some streams full of fish with loads of bees, dragonflies and butterflies buzzing around. Peters church at Bexhill is worth a look round....

On the other hand, there were a couple of places that were really difficult to get through the brambles, or the nettles, or when brambles were hiding the nettles. I stopped to ask someone about a particular routing blip and got some really helpful advice about the state of various paths from Terry and Brenda who just happen to be in the local Ramblers group....

I followed the 1066 Country Walk rather than the slow ways route for the 2nd half of the walk (there is a lot on the road on the slow ways route)....

Cross the road to St Peters church abnd bearing to the right, take the path on the left. Following the road up and around to your left will bring you after 300m to a metal gate and onto a straight path through an arable field into a wood. Going through the gate at the bottom of brings you out into the sunlight and the path across the arable field reaches a metalled track turning right up a short steep rise. At Powdermill Cottage, turn right again down a metalled road where the "Speed Bumps" appear to be superfluous. Continue along this private road through its protective gate to the T-junction where you'll turn left again onto a narrow road. Follow the path with an ancient brick wall and the Abbey to your right, brings you promptly into Battle Town Square....

After turning right off the A265 the route takes you through Heathfield Park, which is either a private park (as it's not listed on Google) or else was closed for maintenance. I overcame this issue by following the A265 and turning right on to Battle Road, rejoining the route around Heathfield Community College....

Nice walk - all clear between Robertsbridge and Battle. One part of route unclear with fence blokcing route and no clear way around....

A pleasant walk, following much of the Bexhill Link of the 1066 country walk (waymarked along the majority of this route). Starting urban, there is a nice mix of countryside trail, footpath and forest walking. In winter, certain sections can get extremely boggy and require heavy duty walking shoes or wellies, but through the summer you should be assured of dry conditions throughout....

The route then takes you under the link road past lakes and fields to the quiet village of Crowhurst. Instead stick to the 1066 national route which will take you to the right then left down a lane and back into open fields, emerging at the same point as the Slow way at the beautiful church, a nice bench or two to stop and rest....
