This map combines two lovely adjacent nature reserves along a three and a half mile route to make the most of the varied features and scenery. It would be easy to make multiple different shorter routes from either end.
Broadwater Warren is an RSPB forest and heathland. Follow the white arrows clockwise for the 1.5 mile Nature Trail or the green arrows anti-clockwise for the 3 mile Heathland & Woodland Trail (yes, direction matters because the arrows are only on one side of the posts). You can pick up a leaflet with a map at the info stand in the car park. This 123 map is mainly the green route with an extension into the neighbouring reserve.
Eridge Rocks is a Sussex Wildlife site with spectacular geology and a pretty woodland. If you want to do this one on its own, a full loop is just under a mile.
Parking: large free car park at Broadwater Warren entrance on Broadwater Forest Lane; small free car park at Eridge Rocks entrance on Warren Farm Lane.
Public transport: bus stop near Church at top of Warren Farm Lane.
