Running from East Grinstead to Groombridge, the Forest Way is a shared-use path for walkers, cyclists and horse riders. Part of the Downs and Weald cycle route, this tree-lined path takes you through the heart of the East Sussex countryside, through small fields and farms among wooded, rolling hills. The route follows a disused railway line and is flat and traffic-free.
The area is part of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and provides an important habitat for wildlife. The route also passes the village of Hartfield which was the setting for the much loved AA Milne tale ‘Winnie the Pooh'.
More information on the Forest Way is available from the East Sussex County Council website.
