SWC 316: Hastings to Winchelsea (via Three Oaks) -- SWC 316 -- In reverse!
Distance: 16.4 Miles or 26.4 km for those more metrically minded (with options to shorten to about 8 miles by starting or finishing in Three Oaks -- see walk notes)
Difficulty: 8 out of 10
Train: Take the 9:15 AM train from London Charing Cross (9:24 London Bridge) to arrive in Hastings at 10:47. Return trains from Winchelsea via Ashford and St. Ps are at 43 past the hour until 22:43. Buy a day return to Hastings with a high speed upgrade for a quicker return journey.
I thought that it would be interesting to try this walk in reverse to catch high tide at the very Mediterranean cove of Fairlight Glen at the start of the walk; rather than low tide at the end.... with an atmospheric finish in the charming Ancient Town of Winchelsea. The walk is principally map or GPX-led and the recommended lunch pub is midway -- so it should work reasonably well in reverse.....You can find more information about the walk and download the walk instructions/gpx here.
The recommended lunch stop is at the Three Oaks Pub in, well you guessed it, Three Oaks (01424 813 303) about 8 miles/12.9 km into the walk and serves food all afternoon. A booking has been made for 2:30pm. The New Inn in Winchelsea is a charming country pub to enjoy post walk refreshments....
Look forward to seeing you on the walk!
