Flood-plain of the River Rother, Bodiam village and the popular Bodiam Castle, East Sussex.

Commentary.

 

Bodiam Castle is of a classic, Medieval vintage.

Rounded corner towers.

Vast moat.

Portcullis.

Drawbridge.

Castellated, with arrow-slit windows.

Keep and dungeons.

As seen here, it is always a popular

venue, for all ages.

It stands on slightly higher ground

than the partially flooded, flood-plain.

The southern levee is clearly visible and both

levees are used as raised footpaths.

To add to the attractions, just behind

the location where this shot was taken,

volunteers re-furbished and re-instated

the Kent and Sussex Railway.

It runs from Tenterden in Kent

to Bodiam in East Sussex, and back.

It has steam-driven engines, and is just as

popular as the castle, during the summer months.
