Groombridge and the High Weald - LUNCH STOP DETAILS AMENDED

NB WE'RE SORRY THAT THIS WALK NO LONGER OFFERS THE OPTION OF A PUB LUNCH AT WITHYHAM.  PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN PICNIC.
Starts at Groombridge car park opposite the post office.  EX135.  Alternatively park on the street.  Enjoy the rolling hills of the High Weald following the Sussex Border path from Groombridge to Hartfield. (Winnie the Pooh country!).  Lunch in Withyham - bring sandwiches to eat in the grounds of St Michaels and All Angels Church (the burial place of Vita Sackville-West -and many other Sackvilles).  Then continue through Buckhurst Park then the High Weald Landscape trail back towards Groombridge.  Good views and lots of interest throughout.
About 11 miles and moderately hilly - about 950 feet of ascent/descent. May shorten depending on the weather! Be prepared for mud and whatever else January may throw at us!
