About

Herstmonceux is dominated by its distinctive fifteenth-century moated castle, constructed from brick rather than stone, which now houses an international science institute. The surrounding parish contains large areas of mixed woodland and farmland, with the small village itself situated along the winding course of the River Ashbourne. The wider area is characterised by a quiet, rural landscape of scattered farms and hamlets.

To the south, Ninfield sits on a ridge with views towards the coast. The village has a linear layout along the old main road, with a notable Norman church at its centre. The surrounding countryside is primarily agricultural, with fields and hedgerows typical of the High Weald. A local landmark is the reconstructed post mill on the village outskirts, a reminder of the area's historical farming practices.
