Visit the Ashdown Forest

The Ashdown Forest is a stunning free access area located in the heart of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)in the South East corner of England.

Most famously known as the 100 Acre Wood inhabited by Christopher Robin and his mates Winnie, the Pooh, Piglet, Eeyeore and others, this 6,500 acre site is also home to an exciting array of wild fauna and flora, contributing to its designation as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI)

This precious area is well worth a visit and the members of the Ashdown Forest Tourism Association (AFTA) are at hand to help you enjoy your visit in a responsible, sustainable and enjoyable way.

AFTA is a dynamic membership group comprising places to stay, from 5 star hotels to lovely simple campsites; places to visit alongside the forest, including the Bluebell Railway, art galleries and stunning gardens; wonderful places to eat, including gastropubs, traditional pubs and a vast array of cafes and restaurants.
