Little Hawks Hill

Downs Link, near Rudgwick The Downs Link path follows a dismantled railway line for almost all of its length. It also forms part of route 223 of the National Cycle Network.

Here, there used to be a bridge carrying the railway across the A281 road. The bridge was demolished after the railway closed, and the Downs Link path therefore descends to road level to cross the road. There has been a long-running campaign to reinstate a bridge here. Sadly, a 20-year-old cyclist was killed in 2020 whilst crossing the road at this point. — Downs Link, near Rudgwick Credit: Malc McDonald
