High Weald Landscape Trail (HWLT)

The High Weald Landscape Trail (HWLT) is a 90 mile route between Horsham, West Sussex and Rye, East Sussex, designed to pass through the main landscape types of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). It does not follow the highest ground, and the eastern section is only a few feet above sea level. It keeps to the northern edge of the High Weald except in the west where it runs close to the southern edge for a short distance.
It is a trail of regional importance supported by the High Weald Forum and local authorities in East and West Sussex, and Kent. The route is well signposted. It follows public rights of way and roads with the occasional permissive path.
The geology is alternating sandstones and clays, and the latter can be very muddy in wet conditions so boots are a must except in very dry weather. Some sections become very overgrown in summer with nettles and brambles.

Orchards

Orchards are a farming method for fruit. Most orchards are apple orchards, although pears, plums and other soft fruits are also grown. Due to changes in the economy and competition from abroad many orchards have been grubbed up and converted to other land uses. Fruit orchards are common across Kent (The Garden of England) and to a lesser extent Sussex.
