TQ5807 : Temporary surface to the Cuckoo Trail
taken 15 years ago, near to Hailsham, East Sussex, England
Temporary surface to the Cuckoo Trail
Looking south from Summerhill Lane. The trail for 1.5km south of this point had been closed for several months for sewer relaying. A temporary surface was reinstated in time for the busy Easter weekend but the contractor would have to return to put a permanent hard surface in place.

The Cuckoo Trail (provided by Paul Gillett)
This 13 mile (21km) surfaced path through the Sussex countryside is mostly traffic free and is a safe route for walkers and cyclists of all ages, forming part of the National Cycle Network – route 21.
The picturesque trail follows the former 'Cuckoo Line' railway track and stretches from Heathfield to Eastbourne Park. It passes through Horam, Hailsham and Polegate.
