    Tips

    January 29, 2021

    Sprawling across the highest land in the High Weald AONB, Ashdown Forest is the heathland remains of what was in Roman times the ancient Forest of Anderida. Once stretching for 120 miles (193 km), the ancient forest has been extensively cleared for industry and agriculture down the centuries. The high, infertile heath of Ashdown Forest is the part that escaped most unscathed.



    With huge, open vistas, varied wildlife and myriad trails, it is a glorious place to explore. Fallow, roe, sika and muntjac deer all inhabit the heathland, whilst the distinctive warbling of skylarks and cuckoos are common sounds.
