Just off the M23 on the southern outskirts of Crawley in West Sussex, Green Flag award winning Tilgate Park boasts stunning lakes, lawns and gardens, and miles of woodland and bridleways for long leisurely walks.
Tilgate Park
Loxwood – Wey-Arun Canal (westbound)
Known as “London’s lost route to the sea”, the Wey and Arun Canal is a partially open, 18.5 mile (30km) canal running southwards from the River Wey at Shalford in Surrey to the River Arun at Pallingham in West Sussex. This walk takes you west from the canal centre by the Onslow Arms in Loxwood, through the countryside and back along the canal.
Cowdray Forest (and Worth Forest)
Cowdray Forest is part of the Paddockhurst Estate, a privately-owned woodland which allows some access to the public. Here, you'll find a grid plantation of different types of trees so there's quite a lot of variety to be had on any walk as you pass from section to section. Cowdray Forest adjoins Worth Forest, although there's nothing to tell you when you pass from one into the other.
