This is a lovely Sussex Wildlife Trust nature reserve with an ancient ghyll, pretty woodland and open meadow areas with sweeping views. The dotted extension marked on this map is a very pretty stream path but much more uneven, cut this out if you can’t manage a bit of clambering.
There is no designated parking but SWT advise Napier Road and to cross Queensway with extreme care at the little traffic island, there is a public footpath just by the side of what used to be the Sussex Exchange. There are a few other potential entry points, mostly with limited parking.
If you fancy a longer walk, you can start from Crowhurst at the bottom of Station Road and make a nice loop on public footpaths through Park Farm and Stonebridge Farm (check a bigger map).
Walked, checked, measured and photographed: April 2023 & April 2025.
