Guided Walks
Wealden Walks Autumn 2021
No need to pre-book, just turn up and go if you are interested.
“Timewarp in Fairwarp”
Thursday 11 November 2021 at 2.00pm
4 Miles – 2½ Hours
Meet outside Fairwarp Church, on B2026 just north of Fairwarp village, TN22 3BE (TQ 466 268)
A walk through the Forest village of Fairwarp and its surrounds on 3 April 1881. It’s census night, giving us a (metaphorical) chance to peer into houses and explore outlying farms at a time when this former iron-making settlement still clung to its Victorian independence. Tardis optional.
“Little and Large”
Thursday 16 December 2021 at 2.00pm
4 Miles – 2½ Hours
Meet in The Willows Car Park, North Street, Alfriston, BN26 5UG (TQ 522 032)
No, not the former “comedy duo”, but a walk around the Alfriston and Wilmington area looking at a small castle, a modest offshoot of a great Priory, a model farm and the “smallest church in Sussex”, all whilst walking in the shadow of the 240 feet tall Long Man of Wilmington.
Walks led by Graham Kean, Wealden District Council, Vicarage Lane, Hailsham, BN27 2AX.
