Overview

A circular walk starting in Leechpool Woods then following the High Weald Landscape Trail into St Leonards Forest. The Forest is a pleasant mixture of conifer and broad-leaved wooded areas. It is steeped in a history of dragons and devils. On route we walk along Mick Mills race, pass vineyards, hammer ponds, the ancient sun oak and St Leonards House.

The path into the forest can be muddy at times.

Please bring a snack with you
