  • Withyham and the Five Hundred Acre Wood

We depend on your feedback: [email protected] Public rights are restricted to printing, copying or distributing this document exactly as seen here, complete and without any cutting or editing. See Principles on main webpage. Parkland, green meadows, woodland, views In Brief This short walk through the best of the rolling country near Ashdown Forest includes some of stretches already familiar with regular users of this site. But it finds other paths which are less known. ? In autumn there were no nettles or undergrowth worth a mention on this walk, but in high summer the undergrowth will be much denser, requiring ? sensible clothing. Boots are necessary in the wetter months, but about 70% of the walk is on surfaced drives, making walking shoes or trainers a viable alternative if the weather is fairly clement and the season dry. With hardly any main roads, your dog will be very welcome on this walk. The walk begins at Withyham , East Sussex, postcode TN7 4BD .. For more details, see at the end of this text ( Getting There ). In the Winnie-the-Pooh stories, the Five Hundred Acre Wood was close to Cotchford Farm, near Hartfield, which A.A. Milne and his family rented for the summer. But in the book it becomes just the “Hundred-Acre Wood” or simply “The Wood” and Christopher Robin and Pooh go there regularly because in the middle of the wood is Owl's house.

The walk can be divided into two shorter walks: Villages and Poohsticks (10½ or 9½ km=6½ or 5½ miles) is the twisty northern walk. Clumps and Sandpits (10 km=6 miles) is the breezy southern walk which takes in the wilder spaces and the other Pooh sites. There are a few nettles in the northern walk near Hartfield and some brambles a little later, making shorts inadvisable.

  • East Sussex Record Office Report of the County Archivist April 2008 to March 2009 Introduction
    eastsussex.gov.uk East Sussex Record Office Report of the County Archivist April 2008 to March 2009 Introduction The year was again dominated by efforts towards achieving The Keep, the new Historical Resource Centre, but the core work of the Record Office continued more busily than ever and there was much of which to be proud. In July 2008 we took in our ten-thousandth accession, something of a milestone in the office’s own history of almost 60 years. An application to the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) for £4.9million towards the costs of The Keep was submitted by the Record Office on behalf of the capital partners, East Sussex County Council, Brighton & Hove City Council and the University of Sussex, in September. This represented around 20% of the anticipated costs of the building, since the partners remain committed to find the remainder. In December we learned our fate: that we had been unsuccessful. Feedback from the HLF indicated that ours had been an exemplary application, and one which they would have liked to have supported but, in a year when the effect of diverting HLF money to the Olympics was being felt, it was thought necessary to give precedence to some very high-profile projects. We were, of course, disappointed, but determined not to be deterred, and the partners agreed to pursue ways forward within the existing funding. Because it would further hold up the project, adding to inflation costs, but give no guarantee of success, we decided not to re-apply to the HLF, and by the end of the financial year were beginning to look at options for a less expensive building.

  • The History of Winnie-The-Pooh Who Is Winnie-The-Pooh? Winnie-The-Pooh Is a Well-Loved Teddy Bear That Was Created by the Author Alan Alexander Milne – Or A
    The History of Winnie-the-Pooh Who is Winnie-the-Pooh? Winnie-the-Pooh is a well-loved teddy bear that was created by the author Alan Alexander Milne – or A. A. Milne as he is known. A. A. Milne wrote the stories about Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends for his son, Christopher Robin, after he heard Christopher inventing voices for his toys. A. A. Milne named the boy in the book Christopher Robin too! Ernest H Shepard did the beautiful illustrations for all the storybooks. In the Beginning At first, the teddy bear that Christopher had was called Edward Bear. However, during a trip to London Zoo, A. A. Milne and his family met a Canadian black bear called ‘Winnie’, who they were allowed to feed. The bear had a sweet tooth and liked condensed milk more than meat! Christopher Milne loved the bear and so Edward bear became Winnie bear. The ‘Pooh’ part of the name was then also added on – it came from a swan called ‘Pooh’ that Milne had met on holiday!

  • ASHDOWN FOREST VOLUNTEERS HANDBOOK V5 – 1 July 2011
    ASHDOWN FOREST VOLUNTEERS HANDBOOK V5 – 1 July 2011 Thank you for joining the Ashdown Forest Volunteer team! We hope you really enjoy your volunteering sessions with us. This Handbook has been put together to give you as much basic information about Ashdown Forest as possible. You will learn so much more from actually doing the job, chatting to the public and answering their questions. Forest staff and fellow volunteers (who have a huge and diverse range of knowledge) are always available to answer your questions, offer help and support. Most of the information contained in this book can be found on www.ashdownforest.org or in the ‘Information Barn Volunteers Manual’ (the black folder). Don’t feel you have to ’know it all’. None of us do and we all learn from each other. Remember the only foolish question is the one not asked. Any feedback, suggestions, alterations are always welcome.
