High Weald AONB

A range of downloadable content, walks leaflets and fact sheets to help you explore the fascinating Weald Forest Ridge landscape.  From interesting strolls of one mile to long distance trails...

During the first year of the Weald Forest Ridge Landscape Partnership Scheme we supported our partners at Ashdown Forest in producing a suite of self guided walks around some more wonderful parts of the forest.  See the full list of them here and browse some of the other walks you could enjoy in the High Weald.

As part of the Weald Forest Ridge Scheme we will produce further walks leaflets and information on this web site to help you find and enjoy some of the other, less known but no less magical, places you could visit in the Weald Forest Ridge.  In the meantime here is a quick list of the sites where we are supporting work to help you more easily access and enjoy the countryside of Sussex and Kent:
