Oast By Hancox

This old oast is now converted into a desirable rural dwelling. It still sits in a farming location, behind the straw bales.

Footpath by Woodmans Green

The muddy path over the clay Weald here passes through a gap in a hedge and a water trough. The East Sussex landscape here is rolling countryside with a mix of woods and grassy fields.
