Join Nelly and Stuart on this Lowland Walk: No Mountains in Sight!
Come along for a relaxed and scenic journey through the heart of East Sussex. This leisurely river and woodland wander takes us from the charming village of Isfield, home to the quaint Lavender Line Steam Railway, on a circular route through the lush countryside. No towering mountains here – just rolling fields, and peaceful riverside paths.
An easy 9 mile walk with pub stop.
We’ll begin by meandering across the picturesque fields and farmlands, surrounded by the natural beauty of the Sussex landscape. The route offers glimpses of the tranquil River Ouse as we follow its winding path, with the calming sounds of the water accompanying us along the way. As we pass through Barcombe Mills, we'll enjoy the serenity of the river, with its rich wildlife and scenic views. You may be lucky enough to see a Kingfisher.
A well-deserved break awaits at The Anchor Inn, where we can unwind and enjoy some light refreshments, perhaps overlooking the river, before continuing our journey. This is a perfect opportunity to chat with fellow walkers and soak in the peaceful surroundings.
Whether you're a nature lover, history enthusiast, or simply looking for a peaceful day out in the Sussex countryside, this walk offers something for everyone. With no rush and plenty of time to appreciate the beauty of the land, it’s an ideal outing for all ages and abilities. So, lace up your walking shoes and come along for a relaxing day out with Nelly!
