In A Room With A View, Miss Honeychurch has her sheltered English eyes opened to new ideas and unexpected people. On this walk, the aim is simply to open your eyes to the beauty of the Western Weald and the significance of this remarkable view. It is surely one of the National Park’s finest viewpoints, the sort of place Miss Honeychurch’s beau, George Emerson, would have recommended. As he says in the novel “there is only one perfect view — the view of the sky straight over our heads” and to “choose a place where you won’t do very much harm, and stand in it for all you are worth, facing the sunshine.”
This spot more than fulfils both invitations, and it also holds a great local tale. This is not linked to Forster, but to another contemporary literary giant. Join us to discover more!
