Things to do in the Ashdown Forest

Ashdown Forest

Ashdown Forest organises orienteering weekends, model plane flying and informative walks. The area was the landscape which inspired A.A Milne's Winnie the Pooh stories and its not hard, walking across the heath with the sun lighting up the golden grasses, yellow gorse and green oaks to imagine why.

Hartfield

The small village of Hartfield nearby is home to the Gallipot Pub, a 16th century Inn with excellent Sunday Roast including a delicious vegetarian nut roast and selection of veggie quiches and salads. The pub itself has a great back garden over-looking fields upon fields of fat white bullocks and gentle hills. There's the Winnie the Pooh shop and tea room next door.

Bluebell Railway

The volunteer run Bluebell Line was the UK's first preserved standard gauge passenger railway, re-opening part of the Lewes to East Grinstead line of the old London Brighton & South Coast Railway in 1960. Since then it has developed into one of the largest tourist attractions in Sussex, yet it still remains true to its objectives of the preservation for posterity of a country branch line, its steam locomotives, coaches and goods stock, signalling systems, stations and operating practices.

Groombridge Place Gardens and Enchanted Forest

A visit to Groombridge Place will give you an unforgettable day whether you come as garden enthusiasts to explore and enjoy the sights and scents of the 17th century formal walled garden; or with your family to discover the secret, quirky and mysterious gardens of the ancient forest where children’s imagination will run wild.

Set in a beautiful Sussex estate, Bentley is a unique place, offering a wonderful variety of things to do. Where else could you find a beautifully furnished Palladian mansion with gardens to match.  A woodland where you can wander amongst a collection of prehistoric reconstruction buildings.  A wildfowl reserve and a motor museum with a superb collection of Vintage and Classic cars.  Bentley also has a range of resident craft workers, a children’s adventure play area and miniature steam railway.
