    Tips

    November 16, 2020

    Cycling

    If you are planning on riding the Cuckoo Trail with children, and returning to your starting point, I recommend starting at the Polegate end. There is a very gradual gradient along most of the route, which you might not notice if travelling south from Heathfield. Children will notice it going the other way, so it might be best for them to do the uphill section from Polegate while they have the energy.

    Cycling

    A 14 mile (22 km) traffic-free cycle path through the heart of the Sussex countryside, the Cuckoo Trail is a wonderful place to cycle. The trail, which forms part of the National Cycle Network Route 21, follows the former 'Cuckloo Line' railway, passing through Horam, Hailsham and Polegate.

    Wildflowers, woodland, and an abundance of wildlife are thriving here. Keep a look out for the wooden and steel sculptures and artwork dotted along the trail too. There are also plenty of benches and picnic tables to take a break.

    An easy family ride. Very straight and not many corners.
