Members-only event: Discover Old Lodge (16/08/24)

Members-only event

Leader: James Duncan

Old Lodge lies within the heart of the Ashdown Forest. It comprises a wide-open landscape of heather and grassland, dotted with gorse, birch, oak and scots pine. It sits higher than the surrounding West Sussex heaths, giving it a cooler, damper climate more representative of northern upland moors. Join us for a circular walk of approximately 4-5km looking for heathland birds, dragonflies, reptiles and other wildlife followed by refreshments.

The walk will be at a gentle pace but please be aware that it includes some hills (one quite steep).

Please note: This is a members-only event. Booking essential

The Old Lodge nature reserve is situated on the west side of the B2026 between Maresfield and Hartfield, about a third of a mile north of the junction with the B2188 at Kings Standing.
