Hidden away in the Cuckmere Valley in Sussex at the foot of the South Down is the stunning
Michelham Priory. The estate is surrounded by the longest water-filled moat in England, encircling
the enchanting priory on its very own island. The priory has a long established history of warmly
welcoming and generously entertaining lords and ladies with lavish banquets and merry parties!
