The landscape has a special beauty and is a shared resource for everyone. The history of Commoners being able to graze livestock and gather wood continues and is protected. This ethos of public not private shines through with protection from development and no fences. A very special place.

Lots of different trekking routes that you can do. Plenty of parking at each spot. Great walks for fresh air and beautiful views. Also if you are interested in the story of Winnie tye Pooh it's good to build in to some walks.

Magical forest. Full of nooks, crannies and paths to get lost in, on foot or by bike. Lost a star for the militant rangers who lack manners. This is not a free space, but a protected and controlled forest now with hidden corners. Great for a day trip. Stunning for nature connection. Not good for hospitality. Advice would be to stay close so you have 3 days to explore. Do not attempt to be completely free here. Fox hunters allowed but not human interaction with nature past 5pm. Big shame, however, a bucket list area.

Beautiful place for a walk. It was rather muddy after all the rain but still well worth a visit. It was nice to just sit by the stream and listen to the birds.

Incredibly helpful staff, who welcomed me and a group of Learning Disabled Adults, who I took there. We spent about 30 minutes talking to them about some of the exhibits. Very highly recommended.

Ashdown Forest offers a large area of open access where nature thrives. The area includes archaeology, rare species and hidden landscapes. I would highly recommend this for a visit, however please respect the nature and follow the rules set in place at each car park. Happy exploring the home of Winnie-the-Pooh.
