Just 40 miles from London, Ashdown Forest is also known as The Hundred Acre Wood… sound familiar? That’s because Ashdown Forest is where A.A. Milne’s tales of “Winnie the Pooh” take place. Two trails lead to sites mentioned in or named after the books, such as Eeyore’s Sad and Gloomy Place and Pooh’s Bridge.
Don’t forget to pack a picnic lunch — you’ll want to stay awhile.
