Sussex Walks
These walks through Birchden Wood are perfect for a gentle day out in the Sussex countryside.
The shorter route is a family-friendly loop with mostly hard surfaces, making it great for wheelchairs and buggies, though it does include a little doubling back.
The slightly longer route offers a full circuit without retracing your steps, letting you explore more of the beautiful woodland.
While some paths here are softer underfoot, the walk rewards you with peaceful surroundings and plenty of green space to enjoy.

Walk information
This is a lovely family-friendly stroll around the pretty Birchden Woods.
This first route option has a bit of going back on yourself, but it is all hard surface/fine stones so its a good walk for wheelchairs and buggies.
Walk information
This second route is just a slightly longer version of the walk in the lovely Birchden Woods. The paths are not all hard surface like the first route, but the loop is complete and doesn't go back on itself.
