Wealdway

E Sussex, Kent
This route through three AONBs connects the Thames Estuary with the English Channel through the Weald of Kent and Sussex, spanning chalk downlands, river valleys and wooded farmland in often remote country, including a full traverse of Ashdown Forest (see Ashdown Forest Perambulation for more on the Forest). It links the North Downs Way at Trottiscliffe with the South Downs Way near to Eastbourne.

There are connections with other long distance routes including the Medway Valley Walk, Sussex Border Path and Diamond Way and the Greensand, Saxon Shore and Vanguard Ways.

The route is on OS mapping and waymarked.
