Frequently Asked Questions

Can I bring my dog?

Of course you can, but you must always keep your dog on a lead, especially in the Bluebell Wood and on the other walks, so there is no risk of them annoying any farm livestock or disturbing the abundant wildlife.

Can we picnic?

We have picnic facilities in the shady corner of the large car park field adjacent to the Entrance Barn.  We ask that you do not picnic in the Bluebell Wood please.

Are mountain bikes allowed on the Walks?

Sorry the Walks are only open to walkers and those in wheelchairs.

What public transport is available?

We are a 3 miles walk from Berwick Station or the bus stop at Wilmington.   Taxis are available from Polegate Station Telephone 01323 720720 or from Hailsham bus stop Telephone 01323 442233.

I just want to see the bluebells, how long will it take?

The Blue Walk is the one through the Bluebell Wood that is about 1000 metres or half a mile.  It is designed for wheelchairs and easy walking and can take from half to an hour, depending on how long you linger enjoying the views and their scent when they are fully out on a sunny day!

Can we visit at other times of the year?

We are only open during the published dates of the Bluebell Walk.  Abbots Wood which is nearby and owned by the Forestry Commission, is open every day of the year.

Can we spread ashes of a loved one in Beatons Wood?

Is a wonderful compliment, clearly demonstrating the pleasure that visiting the Bluebell Walk has given.  Any request please contact us, see below.
