This is a shorter version of the original 8 mile Countess and the Crown route, but we’ll still be walking in the footsteps of a remarkable Tudor noblewoman whose life bridged the Wars of the Roses and Henry VIII’s Reformation – few periods in English history were more dramatic. Her story is one of navigating the delicate balance between deep religious conviction and loyalty to the Crown.
- Several toilet opportunities en route, as well as a stop for refreshments.
- Well-behaved dogs on leads welcome
LOGISTICS: With this being a linear walk, there are logistics to plan. Fortunately they are very straight forward – we will take the train one way.
RURAL STRIDES
Rural Strides is passionate about the rich history and cultural landscape of the Western Weald. Through our engaging guided walks, we bring the land to life. We interpret its stories, uncover its heritage, and reveal the character that makes this corner of the South Downs so special. Along the way, we introduce you to inspiring local businesses, each rooted in the community and landscape we share.
Our aim is simple: to create authentic, memorable experiences that connect you with the place and its people. By the end of a Rural Strides walk, you won’t just have explored the Western Weald, you’ll feel like a local.
