The Cuckoo Trail is named after the tradition of releasing a Cuckoo at the start of the Heathfield (or Heffle) Fair. The trail runs from Polegate to Heathfield, a distance of 11 miles and runs along the old railway line which closed in 1968. This is the start of the trail which was opened in September 1992.
