This is on the Cuckoo Trail which is an 18 mile long cycling and walking route between Heathfield and Polegate in East Sussex on a former railway known as the Cuckoo Line. It became known as the Cuckoo Line because traditionally, the first cuckoo of spring was released from a cage at Heathfield Fair. The section here was opened on 1st September 1880 and closed to passengers on 9th September 1968. This looks towards the end of the route at Heathfield. A footpath crosses over here.
