Pooh Corner

Highlight • Cafe

Pooh Corner is a lovely cafe on the edge of Ashdown Forest, where the Winnie the Pooh stories were coined by A.A. Milne. Built in 1703, the pretty white building was the sweet shop which Christopher Robin and A.A. Milne often visited. Today, it is a cafe dedicated to Winnie the Pooh and its creators. You can stop for a drink and slice of cake and learn about the history of this much-loved character.

River Ford on Country Lane

Highlight • Trail

Take a ride down this lovely little country road and you will find yourself fording the river on your bicycle but don’t worry, it’s very, very shallow (in summer)

Lampool Hill Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

A long climb up to Ashdown forrest, not particularly steep but relentless

Box Car Park View, Ashdown Forest

Highlight • Viewpoint

One of many Ashdown Forest car parks with cracking views. This one is off of Crowborough Road, often with free roaming sheep or cattle and has views to the north.

Crowborough Road, Ashdown Forest

Highlight • Viewpoint

This is one of my top three favourite roads in the Ashdown Forest. It provides some fantastic views over the surrounding Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and it has some nice lumps and curves for added interest. Sometimes there are sheep roaming the road between the cattle grids, helping to slow the traffic down.

Twyford Lane

Highlight • Climb

Twyford Lane is home to one of the Ashdown Forest’s more notorious hill climbs - Pillow Mounds. It’s got some steep sections and a few false summits but it’s a more enjoyable climb than the likes of the Wall and Black Hill.

Priory Road Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Averages about 4% but it’s a long steady climb over about 3km into Ashdown Forrest
