Connect Westfield with Slow Ways
We’re creating a network of walking routes that connect all of Britain’s towns, cities and national parks
more walks and reviews are needed to fully connect Westfield to the verified network. Can you give a hike and help?

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 Westfield’s Slow Ways.

The route leaves town almost immediately by dropping into an attractive small valley (Photos 2 then 1 - the uploading messed up the order). Battle Great Wood (photos 3,4) is straightforward and scenic, although in several places very muddy from edge to edge. The answer is to climb up a bit of unlikely bank on the valley's northern slope (photo 10) then walk just inside the fence. (OS grievance sidebar: Further confoundment and conflict as the fence appears to have shifted compared to OS's map so that plotting the actual path's position onto the OS map base of a GPS app misleadingly suggests crossing the field boundary is required (climb the fence although there is no stile or gate?) and then says if you have crossed the virtual OS fence line already throwing doubt on the GPS signal accuracy. Which is not implausib, the GPS position of some photos that day were wildly off. There is also an apparent abandoned overgrown track hugging the base of the slope which does fit with the apparently correct side of the fence and that wouldn't require the awkward climb up that bank . Ugh.). The correct path, beside the fence, soon leads you through scrubby woodland with glorious lichen and mosses (photo 12). After crossing Harts Green (a small lane) the floodplain widens the valley widens, there are some boardwalks....

It was a very pleasurable walk which felt more off-road than it actually is; mainly because of the quiet and particularly green way it takes into Hastings from the edge of town. On both the short no-pavement road in Westfield and while crossing The Ridge in Hastings I was, naturally, cautious but they felt less busy/fast than anticipated given time/day (weekday rush hour at The Ridge)....

Walk this routeI walked this route last weekend and it was very enjoyable but I inadvertently took a shortcut in Hastings....

Lovely open countryside, coastal views, windmills, historic villages, sculptures....

I followed the 1066 Country Walk rather than the slow ways route for the 2nd half of the walk (there is a lot on the road on the slow ways route)....
