Ashdown Forest is a former medieval hunting forest, and is the highest ridge of the High Weald. At ten square miles it is the largest open access area in the South East. Ashdown Forest was purchased by East Sussex County Council from the De La Warr family in 1988. It is now managed by a Board of Conservators. Although nearly two thirds of it is heathland there are also substantial areas of woodland as well. This is on the far western edge of Ashdown Forest, beyond the A22.
