Explore the Broadwater Warren RSPB Nature Reserve on an easy 3.7-mile (5.9 km) loop that takes about 1 hour and 32 minutes to complete. You'll encounter a gentle elevation gain of 135 feet (41 metres) as you hike through a diverse landscape of open heathland and ancient woodlands. Look for the soaring mature pines and the impressive 300-year-old veteran oak tree, or visit in spring to see bluebells carpeting the forest floor.

While the trail is generally easy, some sections can be uneven and muddy, especially after rain, so wear appropriate footwear. The reserve is located within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and you can find parking available on site. Consider visiting during drier periods to fully enjoy all parts of the trail, including boardwalks over wet woodlands and iron-rich pools.

This reserve is a testament to significant conservation efforts, transforming former conifer plantations back into rare lowland heathland and native woodland. It's a haven for wildlife, where you might spot woodlarks, nightjars, or even wild Exmoor ponies roaming the heathland from May to September. The trail also reveals glimpses of history, including a 19th-century firing range and a WWII tank turret.
