Burwash, Burwash Common and Burwash Weald
Local Walks
We have miles of footpaths and bridle ways in the Parish and all will take you through beautiful, rolling countryside. East Sussex County Council have produced digital versions of footpath maps (see below); the map below gives you an indication of the extent of our local footpath network. All are marked on the local OS maps.
Digital Maps now available
East Sussex County Council released digital maps of rights of way in February 2011. Click here for the link to the ESCC website - you'll have to insert your point of interest.
Local residents and visitors can are welcome to join either or both of the two organised walking groups in the community organised by Richard Harden and John Jenner:
Burwash Parish Footpath Walks
On the third Monday of each month a small group of people enjoy a walk around the Parish of Burwash. The walk gets off to a start at 9am from the Bear car park in Burwash; generally returning by midday having covered approximately 4 to 5 miles
Everyone is welcome; if you are interested and would like to find out more, please contact Roger Cloke on 01435 884312
Walks around Burwash - or should I call them strolls?
Councillor Jon Jenner writes:
On the first Wednesday of each month, I plan a walk around our countryside for anyone who would like to come along. These “walks” are gentle strolls for those who like to take time to enjoy our beautiful countryside at a leisurely pace. We leave the Bear Car Park at 9 a.m. and are always home before lunchtime.
Everyone is welcome; if you are interested and would like to find out more, please contact Roger Cloke on 01435 884312
We'd like to know if any of the footpaths in our Parish are blocked, bridges or stiles damaged, or hear about any problem that prevents their usage. Maintenance is the responsibility of East Sussex County Council, but please contact Councillor I. Jenner here with full details of the location, the problem and accompanied by digital images if possible. He'll make sure ESCC address the issue.
