10 – Winterfold Woods – 17.5km

This route has been submitted by Kat. The route in total is 17km though this uses some public roads which can be avoided utilising the many footpaths.

Kat goes on to say there are many trails across this woodlands, some narrow technical tracks used by mountain bikers,  wide paths used by horse riders. We went on a nice sunny day and did not meet anyone as it’s quite a large area. There is  a lot to explore with many sandy paths so not too muddy in winter.

The area is beautiful, its jewels are Holmbury Hill and Pitch Hill, two magnificent green sand peaks, which with the Winterfold ridge, offer stunning views over the Weald to the South Downs.  There are also magical pine woods and heather heaths, ponds and glades, wildlife and wilderness.

There are 15 car parks around the area and a lot to explore….
