Fore Wood Nature Reserve provides a tranquil shelter for both wildlife and visitors. Centuries of human management have created a diverse mix of traditional coppiced areas and grand high forest.

This ancient yew tree was already here in 1066, during the Battle of Hastings. There is a plaque in commemoration of its 950th anniversary.

Owned by the National Trust, there is a lovely view of Lake Field. It was acquired by the National Trust in order to preserve the rural view.

A conifer-based woodland just outside the famous town of Battle, where the Battle of Hastings took place, Battle Great Wood is a wonderful place to explore. Will well-maintained trails and a tremendous sense of quiet, you can amble here for hours. The 1066 Country Walk long-distance trail passes right through the centre of the wood, and a wooden sculpture of a crown lies in the heart.

With over 4 square miles (10.5 km2) of wild conifers and deciduous trees, Bedgebury Forest is a fantastic place to get out into the countryside. Take a little detour over to the National Pinetum if you have the time. It's one of the world's leading centres for conifer conservation and the start for many other walking and mountain biking trails through this beautiful forest.
