Explore and play
in stunning Sussex woodland

Rowfant Trail is a woodland discovery trail exploring the varied landscape and diverse woodland areas around Rowfant.
Our Aim is to protect and improve this woodland gem. Creating a fun, inspiring way for people to enjoy the outdoors and explore our relationship with the world. Bridges, boardwalks, play interventions and picnic areas will provide ways to explore and learn along the way.
This beautiful Sussex woodland can become an important natural link for wildlife, part of the tapestry of countryside linking into the high weald area of outstanding natural beauty.
