Burwash

The Jacobean Bell Inn, Burwash, Sussex, as featured in Rudyard Kipling's Puck of Pook's Hill.

DSC00772"And while I am tearing my hair over this, Ticehurst Will, my best mason, comes to me shaking, and vowing that the Devil, horned, tailed, and chained, has run out on him from the church-tower, and the men would work there no more. So I took 'em off the foundations, which we were strengthening, and went into the Bell Tavern for a cup of ale."

DSC00776 Burwash is a charming little village, well worth a stroll around, especially if you happen to stroll into the Rose and Crown. I particularly like the old fashioned parking signs squeezed between the pollarded trees that line the terraced cottages on the main street.

And there's also Kipling's rather impressive pad to look around.
