The village of Ninfield sits in an area steeped in history, being near the famous site of the Battle of Hastings. There is a legend that William the Conqueror flew his standard at Standard Hill on the current A269 before the Battle of Hastings in battle. In those days smuggling was prevalent in the area, due to the proximity of the sea and the nearby landlord of the Red Lion pub in Hooe, James Blackman, was reputedly a member of the Groombridge Gang (1733 - 1749). Due to the proximity of the iron furnace at Ashburnham, Ninfield still has an unusual relic of these times, its iron stocks and whipping post which are in the centre of the village. They were probably manufactured in the 1700's. Ninfield has a few local shops and public houses and the bus service comes down from Battle to Sidley on the outskirts of Bexhill. It is surrounded by rolling hills to the north and to the south lies Normans Bay. The nearest trains can be caught at Bexhill Station, on the Hastings to Eastbourne line. There are numerous attractions in the area, including the famous 1066 country walk. This starts in the village of Pevensey and traverses East Sussex to the historic town of Rye. It takes in the town of Battle, where the Battle of Hastings took place and the walk takes you from Roman times to the smuggling of medieval times. Battle lies about 5 miles away and attracts visitors from all over the world. The coast is about 6 miles away. The buzzing town of Brighton is about 30 miles away and is easily accessible via the A27. All in all this area is a super destination for an active holiday or a relaxing break.
