バルコンベのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Bridge and footpath closed for maintenance as of Jan 2026

better with lot rain beforehand

The toll bridge here was mentioned in the Domesday Book so is a very old piece of Barcombe Mills history. Although not quite that old, a plaque showing the tolls to cross the bridge sets out the cost in old British money, pounds, shillings and pence.

The River Ouse meanders its way from Lower Beeding, through both West and East Sussex, to the sea in Newhaven. On a good day, you'll likely see many paddleboarders, kayakers and swimmers round here, but also keep an eye out for wildlife, especially Kingfishers.

The path can be a bit overgrown in summer, so keep your eyes peeled.

There may be cows in this field, they are inquisitive but harmless, just walk calmly past and you'll be fine!

The rivers and streams that join near Barcombe provide blissful scenery for a hike through here. The Sussex Ouse Valley Way long-distance footpath leads you through this serene place and, if you're hungry, stop off at the Anchor Inn. With outdoor decking and little boats moored up, it's about as relaxing as country pubs get.

Excellent food and river views but gets very busy at weekends. Expect a long wait for food. They don’t take bookings.
