Continuing along the A21 in East Sussex, another area of high ground with potential landscape views and good hiking was Silver Hill just down from Hurst Green.  A good starting point would be from the historic village of Robertsbridge.

Footpaths to Silver Hill

Again I was working out what footpaths to follow researching via Ordnance survey online maps.  There are some free carparks near the start point too which are also shown on the maps.  There was a small overlap with a previous walk from Johns Cross which is also in the area.

It was a warm hazy day in June, not ideal for landscape photography or walking, but always good for your heart and sinew.

Robertsbridge long grass

From Robertsbridge I made my way to an overgrown lake and then up on some high ground which is shown on the maps as contour lines.

What was immediately apparent around Robertsbridge was all the long grass and overgrown meadows.  There were a few clouds in the sky and sun was peeking through adding shadows and depth to the scene.

River Rother

Nearby I could here water flowing and found a gap in the bush and made my way down to the bank of the river Rother.

It was a shady little canopy and with a polariser on and small aperture of F/16 managed to get a silky look on the flowing water with a shutter speed of 2.5 seconds.

East Sussex View

Through  Wennow wood made my way to some high ground known as the Almonds on the way to Silver hill.

There were some nice landscape views across east Sussex even with some Oast houses in the distance and the long grass and wild dandelions giving some foreground interest.

Wild Vetch

Silver Hill climbs to around 75 metres but unfortunately there were not really any good vantage points for some landscape photography.  I rested at the peak and took a shot of some vetch flowers growing in the long grass.

Too identify plants and flowers I want to photograph I use an app on my mobile phone called PictureThis.  From the peak of Silver hill I was going to continue the walk to Brickhurst wood, but it was getting hot and my feet were feeling it.  So I headed back to Robertsbridge and enjoyed a pint of ale in the George Inn pub.
