Groombridge to Ashurst

This walk starts from the Wealden village of Groombridge on the Kent/Sussex border. We’ll pass Groombridge Place and then climb up through the Burrswood estate enjoying open farmland and valley views. The Wealdway and the Sussex Border Path will guide us to Ashurst from where we’ll follow the River Medway and Forest Way/Sussex Border Path back to Groombridge. 

The first third of the walk includes a steep climb and other short uphill sections. Most of the second half of the walk is flat and includes some road walking on the return to Groombridge. There are approximately 5 stiles.
