EASY ACCESS TRAILS

Trails suitable for people with impaired mobility, wheelchairs, mobility scooters and push chairs Hollingbury Woodland Trail Open glades of snowdrops Hollingbury Woods were planted with beech around 200 years ago and now provide a valuable haven for wildlife. They were badly damaged in the '87 storm, but this had some beneficial effects such as opening up the glades which are important for forget-me-nots and other woodland flowers. The full route is 1.8km and takes about an hour, starting from the display panel at the car park. The trail surface is mostly crushed, rolled sandstone (Fittleworth). There are also sections of grass and tarmac. A shorter loop is available by returning from the cottages. The route passes through Hollingbury Woods which slope gently from north to south. The car park is on the left at Hollingbury Golf Club entrance.
