Join me for a stunning circular walk from Balcombe, through peaceful woodland, along the sparkling waters of Ardingly Reservoir, and down into the Ouse Valley, where the awe-inspiring Ouse Valley Viaduct awaits.
This route is pure Sussex magic—think open meadows, quiet trails, and the kind of views that stop you in your tracks. The viaduct alone is worth the trip, with its 37 majestic arches towering above the valley like something out of a dream.
It’s the perfect 9 mile circular walk from Balcombe via the Ardingly Reservoir and the Ouse Valley Viaduct
