The walk
Rewell Wood Walk
This is a lovely varied walk that first takes you deep into the lovely Rewell Woods for some woodland adventure and then it takes you on a peaceful countryside adventure in the farmed land around the village of Madehurst.
It's quite a hilly area so be prepared for a bit of a workout on this walk and there are a couple of busy road crossings to tackle, so please be careful on those.

Walker review
A very pleasant and, above all, varied walk. Diversity, silence, beautiful views, and forest paths. A slight detour at the beginning allows you to visit a beautiful church. We were there when it was dry, but the trails indicate that in wet weather, appropriate footwear is necessary.
Walker review
Lovely scenery. Quite muddy as it was raining. The road crossing was on a bend so quite dangerous, very fast traffic! Slightly longer than advised. All in all, a lovely walk.
