Five Hundred Acre Wood is famously the inspiration behind Hundred Acre Wood, the setting for AA Milne's Winnie the Pooh stories. Unlike the rest of Ashdown Forest, which is now heathland, Five Hundred Acre Wood is still a forest, having been replanted and enclosed 300 years ago to protect it from grazing. The trails here make for an enchanting adventure in any season.
