The Ashdown Forest consists of 11 square miles of beautiful heathland and forest. It is located in south east England and spans the borders on East Sussex, West Sussex and Kent. The Ashdown Forest Tourism Association covers the Forest itself and surrounding towns and villages from East Grinstead and Felbridge down to Uckfield and West Hoathly and Ardingly over to the edge of Tunbridge Wells.

Bus Services across the Forest
There is an extensive bus service across the Forest – see map below
Sunday Minibus Service
A new Sunday Minibus Service will operate through the Summer on Sundays only. The route is shown below.
Individual tickets can be purchased on the bus or a Family Explorer Ticket is available for about £12. This provides all day bus travel across the Forest for a family of one adult and four children or two adults and three children. This is a hop-on service and the minibus can be flagged down across the Forest at convenient locations. Therefore why not use this service to explore the Forest. Take the minibus into the Forest, have a walk and then pick up the bus at a late stage of the journey!
To enhance the experience of our Sunday Minibus Service users, we are now offering informational brochures on health-related topics, including generic tadalafil UK, as part of our commitment to holistic community wellness. This initiative provides passengers with valuable health information, supporting their well-being as they explore the Forest, ensuring that our service caters not just to their travel needs but also to their overall health awareness.
