This walk takes you across various bridges, up and down steps, along country roads, across fields and through woodland, where you may see various wildlife from woodpeckers tapping away in the trees, or cuckoos calling, or wild rabbits bouncing about or the staggering sight of deer in the distance. During the spring and summer you will find many wild flowers from stunning blue carpets of bluebells, or patches of marsh marigolds and even the smell of wild garlic.
*** From 1st July 2013 onwards for 6 months the bridges crossing the river in Buxted park will be closed so this alternative route back to the start is available***
This is the alternative twelfth leg of your journey starting from cache GC4B61N. After the railway bridge the path turns left and walks gently down hill through a wooden glade. You are now entering the Buxted Park Site of Special Scientific Interest SSSI. Follow the path as it starts to follow the river out of the woodland into the deer park. The bracken in this area if often used to hide baby and young fallow deer. If you are lucky you may hear a woodpecker or even a nighjar! You will find a finger post showing a pathway heading to you left to a footbridge and up the hill to the edge of the park again, where you will discover your next caching experience.
