Overview

This walk takes in one of my favourite views. We walk across the grounds of Ardingly Show Ground and down into the valley to cross one of the limbs of the reservoir. Later we walk along the shoreline of the reservoir before heading towards Balcombe Lake and then taking the footpath through the grounds of Wakehurst Place. Here we cross the road and take the High Weald Landscape Trail to return to the start.

Please bring a snack and a picnic.

Please text the leader if you plan to come.

This walk is taking place as part of the High Weald Walking Festival.
