Mark L's The High Weald, History in the Hills - 12 miles, moderate

An 12 mile walk around the undulating hills of the High Weald. We start at Wadhurst station and then head due west towards Lightlands, built in 1544 on the site of King John’s HuntingLodge. We then join the Sussex Border Path and enter Eridge Park and visit the folly at Danegate.

Our return leg gives us views of Rotherfield before returning to Wadhurst via the high points of Marks Cross and Best Beech and the former convent at The Mount.

This walk is hosted by West Kent Walking Group for the High Weald Walking Festival which runs from Saturday 13th to Sunday 21st September.

Subject to walk leaders approval we do allow well behaved dogs under full control of their owner. If you wish to bring your dog on the walk, please check with the walk leader before arriving for the walk.

Please note that there is a £2 payment required for non-Ramblers members to help cover our Meetup costs. Please help the walk leader by bringing the exact change.
Members of the Ramblers Association are welcome on any of our walks, but we would still encourage you to RSVP on Meetup. This will give our volunteer walk leaders an idea of how many are attending, and also to keep the numbers manageable. If, on the day of the walk, you are still on the waiting list and a Ramblers member, you can attend just let the walk leader know you are coming by adding a comment 'Coming as a Rambler'. You will find the start location via our website Our Walks (westkentwalkinggroup.org.uk).
