A Walk around Winchelsea

This Walk around Winchelsea is an opportunity to imagine a life in a town whose Grand Design has little changed in over 700 years.

​

There are three medieval gates that guard the approaches, the old Court Hall that once acted as the gaol and the seat of the Mayor’s power, and a great church that promised so much, its grandeur and wealth reflects the affluence and influence of the town in the 14th century.

​

Despite its difficult past, it has survived to capture a unique vision of King Edward I’s dream of a hilltop town.  It is a walk into history.
