Set in the rolling High Weald countryside of Sussex, the walks around Sedlescombe offer a quiet and easy-going way to explore a mix of woodland, fields, and gentle hills.

These walks are relaxed in nature, with peaceful paths that pass through some of the softer, more rural landscapes in the area.

One option focuses on wooded countryside, while the other includes river valleys and open farmland for a bit more variety.

Both walks finish back in the village, where a local pub provides a welcoming place to pause at the end of your outing.

The last part of the walk (clockwise) is blocked by a development. You can walk on the road into Seddlescomb as an alternative.

Sedlescombe Walk 2

Time

Route type
Circular

This second walk option offers a gentle alternative route that explores the pretty undulating countryside to the east of Sedlescombe.

After a walk through the village itself, the River Brede then brings a calm, steady presence as it winds through the low-lying fields, and then a loop around Brassets Wood reflects the area’s long tradition of managed woodland.

As with the first route, a lovely village pub waits for you when you get back to the start of the walk.
