High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
A medieval landscape of wooded, rolling hills studded with sandstone outcrops; small, irregular-shaped fields; scattered farmsteads; and ancient routeways. The 1461km2 area covers parts of Kent, Sussex and Surrey at the heart of South East England.
The High Weald in Kent and Sussex has an amazing network of footpaths and bridleways, as well as lots of nature reserves – managed by organisations like the National Trust, RSPB, Woodland Trust and Forestry Commission.
