Our favourite place to go as a family at the weekend with the dog.
There are loads of places to go in the Ashdown Forest. There is a good walk about 10 minutes drive away we like to go on - if you want a recommendation please let us know otherwise we would suggest heading to the top of Black Hill past Black Hill car park where you’re likely to find the ice cream van at the car park where black hill, high road and chuck hatch road meet (just under 15 min drive).

About 5 minutes drive. A lovely walk. If you have a dog it is worth looking up online as they do restrict when a dog has to be on the lead (due to it being a RSPB area). Generally in winter dogs can be off the lead.
Parking is free.
