Our Lady Immaculate and St. Michael, Battle
Built in the 1880s by the Earl of Ashburnham, the church can be described as an “old Catholic mission”  The font is a bronze-age quern, and the stained glass windows include one by Thomas Pylcher who was born in Battle in 1557.

Pashley Manor
Quintessential English Garden with exceptional views of the surrounding countryside.  The gardens surround a private Grade I listed timber-framed house, dating from 1550 and enlarged in 1720.  Being 4.5 miles (7km) from Burwash makes it a relatively easy (although hilly) ride for cyclists.  However those without a car will otherwise need to call a taxi.
