Starting with a lattice differential equation (LDE), the study of travelling wave solutions leads to a forward–backward delay equation. Structures which are present in the LDE typically are inherited by the travelling wave equation. In this paper we are interested in a situation where the travelling wave equation is reversible and possesses a symmetric homoclinic solution. Moreover, we consider the case that the asymptotic steady state possesses exactly two purely imaginary eigenvalues ±iω, ω ≠ 0. As a consequence, a family of small periodic solutions exist near the steady state. It is the aim of this paper to analyse this bifurcation under generic assumptions and to exploit the underlying reversibility of the equation. As one of the main results we find all homoclinic orbits to the centre manifold, which approach a periodic orbit in forward and backward time.
