Owl's House (Winnie-the-Pooh)

Highlight • Viewpoint

Be sure to look up into the trees to spot Owl's house. This is a perfect trail for children as they love looking out for the characters' homes from AA Milne's 'Winnie the Pooh' books.

500 m

Fans of AA Milne's 'Winnie the Pooh' books will love visiting poohsticks bridge. Locals say this is the location where AA Milne first played poohsticks with his son, Christopher.

Although this is not the original, as the first, called Posingford Bridge and built in 1907, fell into disrepair as so many people visited and walked on it. This bridge was erected in 1999 in the same style and was built with help from a grant from Disney.

Make sure to carry some sticks with you to the bridge so you aren't disappointed!

Five Hundred Acre Wood

Highlight • Forest

Five Hundred Acre Wood is famously the inspiration behind Hundred Acre Wood, the setting for AA Milne's Winnie the Pooh stories. Unlike the rest of Ashdown Forest, which is now heathland, Five Hundred Acre Wood is still a forest, having been replanted and enclosed 300 years ago to protect it from grazing. The trails here make for an enchanting adventure in any season.
