Overview

Mark Cross is located at the intersection of Rotherfield, Wadhurst and Eridge Parishes. It is an ancient settlement dating from 790 BC located on a pre-historic road (now the A267). It used to have its own Magistrates court. There are commanding views south across undulating countryside - once the centre of the iron industry signified by Snape House (an old Iron Masters House). Plenty of ancient by-ways; water mills and windmills along the way. Optional drink and pot luck bite to eat at the end at The Lazy Fox PH.
