Arlington Reservoir

Highlight • Natural Monument

Set amongst 120 acres (49 ha) of green landscape, Arlington Reservoir is a designated Local Nature Reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest which is home to many different animal species. The best place to watch the wildlife is from the Osprey bird hide on the northwest bank. Look out for cormorants, swallows, mallards, coots, Canada geese, and black swans. Popular with birdwatchers and fishermen, the reservoir also serves water to around 2.1 million people in East Sussex.

Jill's Pond

Highlight • Viewpoint

A fantastic example of the dew ponds that are scattered across the South Downs.

Dew ponds are artificially made bodies of water, typically at the top of hills that are well-draining, to make sure that there is water availability for livestock.

Interesting little spot with great views of Lewes.

Lott's Pond Forest Downhill Segment

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

Great forest section with fast downhill segment. You'll pass Lott's Pond on your left. Lots of dog walkers so careful round those blind bends.

Fenced Hilltop Pond

Highlight • Lake

What looks like a recently worked pond - with trees protecting one side and a fence protecting the area. Great views from the hill.
