Ashdown Forest, an ancient area of open heathland, has long been a favourite spot for kings and queens, scientists writers and artists alike. Situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it is a haven for the natural world and inspired A.A. Milne's Hundred Acre Wood, and Charles Darwin, amongst others. More about Ashdown Forest on the Visit Tunbridge Wells site.
On 24 May, meet at Babylon - The Kitchen on the B2026, TN22 3JP at 10.45am. (This supercedes previous advice to meet at Duddleswell Tea Rooms which is on the B2026, postcode TN22 3BH, at 10.45am, as Duddleswell tea rooms will be closed for the rest of May.)
The route is mainly on the Southern slopes of the Ashdown Forest and takes in the Airman's Grave, Nutley Windmill and The Garden of Eden Waterfall. The total distance is approximately 13km.
