Overview

This is a linear walk from Ansty to Balcombe. Please see information regarding transfers.

This lovely walk joins the HighWeald Landscape Trail and onto the Ouse Valley Way.

We pass through the villages of Warninglid, Slaugham and Handcross and on to Balcombe. On route we pass by vineyards, woodland & farmland, Wykehurst Place and Nymans. There should be some scenic views as we walk through the High Weald and Area of Outstanding Beauty now known as National Landscapes.

Please bring a snack and a picnic.

Please note we will all meet at the end of the walk and then arrange transport to the start of the walk.

On completion of the walk we will need to drive back to the start to ensure everyone has their own transport home.

Please note this start time 10am is the start of the walk. 
Please note we actually meet at 9:30 to arrange transfers.

Please text the leader if you wish to join this walk.
