어크필드 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Lovely local woodland. Brilliant for bluebells in the spring (peak is usually mid to late April). Many paths to take you around it, great for dogs and kids. Some paths lead off into Buxted Park, which is a great continuation of the walk if you wish to go further.

The Village Store is now a cafe and florist called Bay and Bellflower. It opens Tuesday to Saturday till 4.30pm. I got coffee and polenta cake which was frankly delicious.

The cafe has re-opened Tuesday to Saturday closing at 4.30pm. Had the coffee and polenta cake - very yummy.

As you exit the Church there are some great views of Buxted Park and the village

A 206-acre (85 ha) Site of Special Scientific Interest, Buxted Park makes for a splendid amble. The deer park originates from 1199 and the Grade II-listed manor house at its centre has since been turned into a hotel. Much of the grassland has been left unimproved, providing a rare habitat for many species. The grounds are home to a large herd of deer, as well as a number of exotic birds at the artificial lake.

Along this path that passes through Buxted Park Deer Park, you'll have some excellent views of the surrounding hills and the houses of Buxted.
