Walk report: Uckfield Rocks and Rivers:.On Sunday 24th April, 18 of us set off for a circular six-mile walk starting from Uckfield bus station. Our route left Uckfield town centre through a local Nature Reserve to a deep and atmospheric lake hidden among trees and bordered by rocks and caves and a tunnel. There were giant redwood trees around this dark secluded water and high promontories overlooking the lake that we could have clambered up - but we restrained ourselves! Then we crossed the Uckfield bypass on the bridge and took a footpath through the beautiful bluebell woods, passed an old sand pit and through glades of oak and birch trees. We crossed two streams on little wooden bridges and walked over a small field to some huge logs in the sun which were ideal for our coffee stop. We passed a pond with bulrushes and finally reached the Piltdown Gold course. After skirting around it, we came out into a field with a magnificent panoramic view of the Downs in the distance. Down the hill stood the 16th century Peacock Pub. But we did not stop. Instead we walked down towards the river and followed the road, past some pretty cottages towards a footpath on our left. We came close to the embankment of the old railway line along a muddy track and finally found ourselves crossing the busy A22 and back to our cars. The walk was led by Margaret.

Our next walk is on Sunday 22nd May when we shall explore Ashdown Forest over 5 miles. Do join us. Meet at North Street car park, Lewes by 9.30. For more information visit lewesfootpathsgroup.org.uk
