Overview

A popular walk in Ashdown Forest, taking in some of the landmarks made familiar by AA Milne in his Winnie the Pooh stories. We will follow the Weald Way via Five Hundred Acre Wood, Fisher’s Gate and Withyham to reach Hartfield (lunch stop) and return via Upper Hartfield, Pooh Bridge,, Posingford Wood and the AA Milne/EH Shephard memorial. This is an undulating walk with a long uphill section on the return.  Please text the leader up to 6 days before the date of the walk to confirm that you are coming.
