Ashdown Forest Riding Centre

High Weald Landscape Trail

Traverses rolling hills, ancient woodlands, and sunken lanes across the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with moderate to steep gradients throughout. Not suitable for buggies due to uneven terrain, stiles, and challenging sections, though older children who enjoy proper walks will manage fine. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Worth it for quintessential English countryside: bluebell woods in spring, panoramic ridge views, historic farms, and that distinctive patchwork of fields

Rewards with ancient woodlands, historic villages, and sweeping downland views—a classic long
