Winchelsea to Hastings walk
The hardest walk in the book. A gentle start with the 1066 Path and a great pub for lunch. After lunch, a great coastal cliff walk with 4 steep climbs, Fairlight Glen naturist beach, fish and chips on Hastings seafront, so one for summer.

Multi-Coloured Beer Barrels
One thing I have learnt from various brewery tours is that each brewery has it's own coloured strips. Judging by the variety of colours this pub either stocks a lot of beer or rarely returns the barrels!
