Overview

An Ashdown Forest circular from Chelwood Vachery across to Wych Cross, Twyford Lane, Press Ridge Warren and Birchgrove with pub lunch at the Red Lion PH, Chelwood Gate.  A shorter afternoon leg including a folly bridge and the cascades of the Chelwood 'Gorge'.

Quite a few undulations, and expect some wet and muddy stretches, but all interspersed with some good walking.

Please text the leader to book onto this walk.
