Millenium Avenue and all the walks

To celebrate the New Millennium we planted an avenue of 28 English Oak Trees (Quercus Robor) leading to the entrance of the Bluebell Wood. There we have created a glade with seats, to relax and enjoy the peace of the countryside.

Wild Garlic Walk

320 metres or approx. quarter mile. Cross the Cuckmere River by a narrow footbridge, chldren taking particular care, through Winham Coppice and link up with the Green Walk. A profusion of garlic plants in this area have a strong scent when flowers are out. N.B. There are two stiles on this walk.

The Green Walk

1700 metres or approx. one and quarter miles. This is an extension of the White Walk which follows the Cuckmere River for about half a mile. You can watch the milking at Parkwood Farm on any day from approximately 3pm to 5pm. N.B. Please watch out for electric fencing and cows that may be in the yard.

The River Walk

1200 metres or approx. three quarters mile circular walk. This leads north west of the New Wood Walk. Alongside a fence bordering a plantation of trees planted in 1998, it continues on to a cut of the Cuckmere River. Follow north joining the main river until you reach a hedge, you can climb stile number 4 as a shortcut to the Green Walk or turn east and follow the hedgeline back to the end of the New Wood Walk. At gate 6 decide to go north and join the White Walk. To return to Beaton's Wood making it a circular walk turn south to bridlegate number 24.

New Wood Walk

800 metres or approx. half a mile. Planted in 1993 in what was a 12 acre arable field. A pond was also dug in this field adjacent to an existing one. This walk continues to the River Walk and then links up via gate number 6 with the White Walk, so taking the long way back to Beaton's Wood.
