Confluence of the River Medway and River Grom

Highlight • Viewpoint

Here the Rivers Medway and Grom form the boundary between Kent and East Sussex. It’s beautiful countryside, with little villages dotted around the rolling pastureland of the Weald. The serenity is only interrupted by chugging trains on the nearby railway line. From here the Medway continues its journey on through Tonbridge, to Maidstone and into the Thames Estuary.

The charming village of Withyham is nestled in the Medway Valley close to Ashdown Forest, the highest region of the High Weald AONB. The sandstone outcrops at Penn's Rocks SSSI are worth exploring, whilst nearby Five Hundred Acre Wood was the inspiration behind the Winnie the Pooh stories.

The farmhouse-turned-hostelry of the Dorset Arms serves excellent food. Meanwhile accommodation can be sought in neighbouring Hartfield at the Anchor Inn.

Pooh Bridge

Highlight • Historical Site

Fans of AA Milne's 'Winnie the Pooh' books will love visiting poohsticks bridge. Locals say this is the location where AA Milne first played poohsticks with his son, Christopher.

Although this is not the original, as the first, called Posingford Bridge and built in 1907, fell into disrepair as so many people visited and walked on it. This bridge was erected in 1999 in the same style and was built with help from a grant from Disney.

Make sure to carry some sticks with you to the bridge so you aren't disappointed!
