Pevensey Bay

Pevensey is a small village near the town of Eastbourne. The Normans built their castle in Pevensey using the remains of a Roman fort, the walls still standing 20ft/6m high. During the 13th C the site was strengthened with the addition of a gate tower and circular walls. The Mint House, where coins were minted, was built in 1340 and is now a museum.

Pevensey is noted for its sailing club, which offers classes on Pevensey Bay.
