3) Take a walk around Lake Wood in Uckfield. This hidden treasure offers a magical walk through rocks and around a beautiful Lake. Be wary of little ones as there is a lot of open water. I would also advise decent footwear. More details available here.

4) Visit Horam Manor Farm May Fair. You’re invited to dress as a woodland animal (optional!!? ) and explore their new woodland activity nature trail. There will also be children’s entertainment, stalls, crafts and a BBQ. Entry is free!

5) Take a walk across the Ashdown Forest and explore their free Visitor Centre. There will be a pop up cafe during the bank holiday weekend (Sat – Mon) which is open 11am – 4pm.
