Ironmaster's Walk, Batemans

Longstanding tradition claims that Bateman's was built by a Wealden ironmaster. It is difficult now to appreciate that Burwash was ever anything other than a village, but the Normans saw the growth of small scale iron production that lasted 4 centuries.

This 3.4 km walk is easy-going and within reach of all fitness levels. Most walkers finish in around 45 minutes.

The route nearly completes a loop, with start and end points within easy walking distance of each other. Minimal logistics required.

Part of the Local Walking Network (LWN), this trail is ideal for exploring the neighbourhood landscape. It is typically well-known to local walkers and offers an authentic sense of place.
