A walk to Brambletye, the forerunner of Forest Row with a churchless priest, several manor houses and an impressive ruin by the River Medway. However, the river itself is almost a stream today, due to the huge upstream dam across the valley forming Weirwood Reservoir alongside which the walk briefly passes.
