Prior to the Norman Conquest, the area now known as the Pevensey Levels, was a part of the sea, at least at high tide. Today the Pevensey Levels are now a wetland of international importance. This walk moves from the historic coastline at Pevensey towards two former islands with the majority of the walk having once literally been “all at sea”.
