Overview

A pleasant yet challenging walk across undulating Weald countryside. Bridleways, waterside paths passing Balcombe Lake and Ardingly Reservoir and sections through woodland. Hilly in parts but nothing too strenuous. Picnic lunch, snacks and coffee available at Fellows Bakery in Ardingly. Lift for three people available from Beckley or pick up en-route.
