Overview

This circular walk in Ashdown Forest follows part of the Vanguard Way in the morning, passing by the memorial to A. A. Milne and E.H. Shepherd and crossing the Pooh Sticks Bridge.  Stopping for lunch around the half way mark at Hartfield village, which has cafes, a pub and a public garden for those bringing a picnic lunch.

The afternoon part of the walk follows the Wealdway.

There are some hills and unless the rain stops soon, it could be quite muddy and slippery in parts. Poles are recommended.

Cars are required. Ramblers who have cars, please offer lifts to others. The fee for parking is £5 and is payable on several Apps, including PayByPhone, RingGo and Just Park.
