Gorse flowering on Ashdown Forest
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. This is not far from King's Standing Clump.
The gorse adds colour here to what is essentially a wild landscape. The saying goes that "when gorse is in flower, then kissing is in season". In other words there is no month of the year when kissing is not in season.
