The village of Bodiam sits in the district of Rother within East Sussex, England, in the rolling landscape of the High Weald. It is best known for the late 14th‑century moated Bodiam Castle, a photogenic square keep beside the River Rother that gives the area a strong medieval character and draws walkers and photographers alike.
