Kent and East Sussex Railway A steam train crosses the Rother Levels between Hexden Channel and the River Rother travelling from Wittersham Road to Northiam. Built as a light railway in 1896 the line from Robertsbridge to Headcorn maintained its independence up to 1948. However, it lost its passenger service from 1954 and was officially closed in 1961. A preservation society was formed and after 13 years battle finally reopened the line, albeit from Tenterden to Rolvenden only. The KESR's success has meant gradual extensions, Wittersham Road was reached in 1977, Northiam in 1990 and Bodiam in 2000.

Footpath to Castle Toll Linking the site to the bridleway on the north bank of the River Rother it is the only footpath in or out. The trees on the right hide an old pond.

Castle Toll Remains of motte and bailey are in evidence as well as larger earthworks believed to have been made in pre-Roman times. Its position on raised ground between the Rother and Hexden Channel afforded a good look out point down the then tidal river. The site is believed to be the one Alfred the Great fortified in 892 when the Vikings invaded and occupied the Isle of Oxney. The fort may well have been used into medieval times when it was still possible for the French to sail up the river to Robertsbridge and burn it down. If you look very hard and very close you may spot a fox on the earthworks observing my activities.
