Slow Ways linking Heathfield and Battle, Crowborough, Hailsham, Robertsbridge, Uckfield, Wadhurst

Heathfield’s six Slow Ways are 46% checked
Help connect Heathfield
Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Heathfield’s Slow Ways.

I cycled this route yesterday, which is cheating really. However it shows that the route is completely suitable for anybody on wheels end to end....

Care should be taken in Heathfield and Hailsham towns to follow the route, it doesn't follow the route signposted "Cuckoo Trail" in Heathfield but if you follow either those or the Slow Way you'll end up in the right place. There is a toilet, cafe and shop in Horam, about a third of the way along the route if walking south....

The route passes two good country pubs; the Blackboys Inn at Blackboys and the Star Inn at Waldron, other than that I didn't see any other facilities. The path also passes Tickerage Mill at Blackboys which was the last home of Vivien Leigh in the 1960s....

After turning right off the A265 the route takes you through Heathfield Park, which is either a private park (as it's not listed on Google) or else was closed for maintenance. I overcame this issue by following the A265 and turning right on to Battle Road, rejoining the route around Heathfield Community College....

Very easy to follow, well sign posted and flat. Paved the entire way so should be fairly accessible for all. Very pretty scenery....
