TQ4210 : Sussex Ouse Valley Way, Railway Land LNR
taken 13 years ago, near to Lewes, East Sussex, England
Lewes Railway Land LNR was designated an LNR in 1995, and covers approximately 25 acres of land on the flood plain of the river Ouse to the south-east of Lewes, just outside the Sussex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). It consists of a mosaic of habitats, including wet woodland, floodplain grassland, ponds, marshes and drainage ditches. It is located a few minutes walk from Lewes town centre making it an important urban fringe site.
Opened in 2005, the Sussex Ouse Valley Way is a beautiful 42 mile journey that broadly follows the River Ouse from its source close to Lower Beeding in the High Weald to the sea at Seaford Bay. It is signed using a picture of the Ouse Valley Viaduct. Website: Link
