A Brief History of the Egrets Way Project
A Brief History of the Egrets Way Project The people who initiated the Egrets Way Project in 2011 were not the first group of local residents to join forces to identify a safe cycling route which would connect Newhaven, Lewes and the villages in between. In 2004, an earlier attempt by members of the POLO (Parishes of the Lower Ouse) group to create a ‘Greenway’ running alongside the C7 Lewes to Newhaven Road had foundered when no achievable route could be identified. However, in Autumn, 2011, three significant events occurred which encouraged members of those same communities to try again: • the Environment Agency announced its intention to maintain the flood defences of the river in the Lower Ouse valley, • the Government announced substantial funding for sustainable transport plans, and • the South Downs National Park (SDNP), created in 2010, came into operation. Following public meetings, held for the purpose of measuring support for the project, a constitution was adopted, a Steering Committee was created, officers were elected, and the project known as the Ouse Valley Cycle Network (OVCN) came into being. A great deal of work then began to identify a route, locate relevant landowners and meet with representatives of organisations with shared interests as well as engaging with the public through parish council meetings and attendance at local events. By the end of the year, the group had joined forces with a working party from the Kingston Road and Cranedown Residents Association and the Kingston Action Group which had long been exploring the possibility of creating an off-road cycleway connecting Kingston and Lewes.

Ouse & Adur Rivers Trust Riverside Walks Walk 6 – Lewes Brooks Circular Walk. (OS Map – Explorer 122) This is a 9 mile circular walk starting south of Lewes and taking in the villages of Iford, Northease, and Rodmell. On the walk you cross the Greenwich Meridian a total of 4 times, and enjoy some panoramic downland views from the valley of the Lower Ouse. Downland scenery Directions Start – TQ40450893, Park in the layby on the Kingston Road (C7), just south of Lewes Rugby Club. Looking Northwards, Lewes castle is visible on the horizon, and turning to look to the North East the 2 hills are Mount Caburn (on the left) and Firle Beacon (on the right). Follow the footpath signs down the track from the layby, through the gate, and take the right hand fork diagonally across the field to the gate in the hedge. In early July we saw plenty of butterflies including Gatekeepers, Commas, and Tortoiseshells. Pass through the gate and continue straight ahead through the middle of the field to the hedge. Waypoint 1 - TQ40390845, Looking to the left, the chalk cliffs mark the site of the Asham Cement Works which closed in 1978. Follow the narrow track under the trees keeping the barbed wire fence on your left. As you walk you pass a garden centre on your right. Continue over the stile, past the sewage treatment works on the left, at this point we spotted a number of alpacas in the field beyond. Whilst not typically Sussex animals, there are a number of farms keeping herds of alpacas for their fine fleece.
