This 17th Century Jacobean Manor House is situated in the heart of an "Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty" in the High Weald at Penhurst, East Sussex, next door to the beautifully restored 14th Century church. The retreat centre provides a haven of tranquility in an historic setting, yet it is only 90 minutes from London and 1 hour from Gatwick airport and the M25.
The Centre is only seven miles from East Sussex coast and the historic town of Battle is four miles away. The Abbey has huge significance in English history as it marks the site where Harold fell in the Battle of Hastings. It is an attractive town with many places of interest to visit. The view of the Retreat Centre above (amongst the trees in the distance) is taken from Tent Hill where William is alleged to have camped before the battle.
