One Mile Walks Crowborough
The town of Crowborough is located in East Sussex, close to the Kent border, 30 miles from London and 20 miles from the South Coast. It has a population of about 22,000 and new housing developments are attracting more people to the area. Surrounded by the High Weald National Landscape, and on the edge of the Ashdown Forest – the largest open access area in the South East of England, there is no shortage of beautiful countryside nearby.

The Walks
Rather than suggest that people must travel to find great places to walk, One Mile Walks has made use of the many recreation grounds, parks and open spaces within the town. The eight walks in the Crowborough series of One Mile Walks are all close to where people live or can reach without leaving the town.

There are eight walks in the Crowborough series including woodland walks, local streets and footpaths, a town centre circuit, a walk through a local recreation ground and one which tips into the Ashdown Forest. For many people these will be places known and loved, but others may have never have considered these as great locations for a walk.
Walshes Park, Crowborough
Just over a mile through this stunning park with wetlands, historic sites, meadows, tree avenues, far reaching views and sculptures. With good paths and lovely scenery this space is an absolute gem!
The Ghyll, Crowborough
Just under one mile through the pretty Ghyll Nature Reserve and back via Forest Rise. You’ll need a steady foot through the woods and the climb up from the ghyll is uneven and steep.
Crowborough Country Park
The walk through this former quarry is about half a mile, but with a peaceful path through lush woodland and wildlife ponds it had to be included. For just over a mile do two loops or turn back at the
Crowborough Common
A pleasant walk on quiet lanes and through woods to the golf course on Crowborough Common.
Chapel Green, Crowborough
A one mile walk around the town from Croft Road to lovely Chapel Green and The Broadway. Passing shops and entirely on pavements alongside roads you’ll not be too far from other people.
Jeffery’s Wood, Crowborough
Just under one mile through Jubilee Meadow, into Jeffery’s Wood to the Ghyll and back via Green Lane. You’ll need a steady foot through the woods, which are rich with wildlife, beautiful wildflowers and a pretty stream.
Goldsmiths, Crowborough
A lovely walk on paved paths in this well used park with excellent facilities and stunning views across Sussex and into Kent. The walk is 0.7 miles or for a mile add a loop of the path around the outside
St John’s, Crowborough
Just over a mile through lush woodland, into the Ashdown Forest and back along roads. This walk is reasonably flat underfoot, other paths not on the route but shown on the map are considerably more uneven.
