Overview

Here we start from the reservoir to follow the Ouse Valley Way and the High Weald Landscape Trail as we make our way through this National Landscape of the High Weald. Hopefully scenic countryside as we walk through farm land of the Balcombe and Bordehill Estates.

There is a short section of this walk on the Balcombe road, sorry no dogs on this walk.

Please bring a snack and a picnic.

Please text the leader if you plan to join this walk.

If you join us on the day please arrive in good time for a 10am start. Please check the website in case of cancellation.
