Bluebells next to The Wealdway
Bluebells next to The Wealdway
Ashdown Forest is a former medieval hunting forest, and is the highest ridge of the High Weald. At ten square miles it is the largest open access area in the South East. Ashdown Forest was purchased by East Sussex County Council from the De La Warr family in 1988. It is now managed by a Board of Conservators. Nearly two thirds of it is heathland.

These bluebells are next to the Wealdway long distance path, not far from Kings Standing car park. The Wealdway is 80 miles long and runs from the River Thames at Gravesend to the English Channel at Eastbourne via Tonbridge, the Ashdown Forest and the South Downs.

The bluebells on Ashdown Forest were surprisingly late - possibly because they are much higher than the bluebells on the Weald.
