Overview

We’ll head from Buxted to East Grinstead via the beautiful Ashdown Forest, with glorious views. Watch out for Pooh and his friends Tigger and Eeyore!

Bring a packed lunch. Pub stop for drinks in the afternoon. End pub might be a bit outside East Grinstead, depending on numbers and the weather, but I’ll provide directions to the station.

Travel: Catch 09:07 London Bridge (09:22 East Croydon), arr. 10:16 Buxted.

(Change at East Croydon from Victoria if coming from there).

Buy a return to Buxted then a single East Grinstead to Hurst Green once we’ve finished.
