Hello. I hope you enjoy this video. It is 6:30 in the morning, today we are walking into Pevensey. Pevensey is a village and civil parish in East Sussex, a county in South East England. As we walk the sun rises and clears the mist from the surrounding fields. The grass at my feet is damp from the morning dew. The air is crisp and fresh. There is nobody around. In the distance we can hear wildlife and the occasional car or train. I feel fortunate to be walking here and appreciate every moment. On our walk into Pevensey we cross a couple of streams and a train track, the East Coastway Line travelling between seaside towns Eastbourne and Hastings. Pevensey has a fascinating history. When we arrive in Pevensey we see the ruins of the Roman fort and the castle inside. The Roman fort was built in 290 AD to counter attacks from barbarians, like the Saxons. The Romans built eleven of these forts in the South East, now known as Saxon Shore Forts. After being trashed by raiders at the end of the 4th century the fort was abandoned. During the 6th century the fort was re-inhabited and over time the town flourished. In 1066 nearby Pevensey Bay is where William the Conqueror landed to invade England. In the 11th, 12th and 13th century the castle was besieged several times. In the 15th century Queen Elizabeth I, unsuccessfully, ordered the castle to be demolished. During WW2 the British Army used the castle as a look-out to spot approaching German aircraft. Today the fort and castle are looked after by English Heritage. The area between the Roman fort walls and outer castle walls are open all day, every day. The castle itself is open at specific times, details will be on the English Heritage website. Please do leave a comment, or like the video, it is lovely to hear from people all over the world. I've got one more video coming from my recent travels and then I'll be back walking in Wiltshire. If you never get the chance to travel to Pevensey I hope this video brings you closer to it. It gives me great pleasure to make places like this accessible to people.
