Pevensey Bay
Pevensey Bay is an old fishing village founded in the 1600s and is famously known as William of Normandy’s landing place in 1066. It is now a popular seaside destination. Pevensey village dates back to the 13th century and the nearby Pevensey Levels are a natural haven for wild birds, flowers and animals.
