Welcome to Capital Walkers, the friendly London Ramblers group for people aged 40+. We walk every weekend and usually at least once during the week.

A walk through Ashdown Forest from Forest Row to the village of Poundgate. The route starts along a former railway line until we reach the village of Hartfield. From here we visit some of the landmarks made familiar by AA Milne in Winnie the Pooh stories, including Pooh Sticks Bridge, the Heffalump Trap, the Five Hundred Acre Wood, Eeyore's Gloomy Place and the AA Milne/EH Shepard memorial.
This is an undulating walk. Dress suitably for the time of year.
No exit points.
Please bring a packed lunch.
