Ashdown Forest above the Misbourne Valley Ashdown Forest is a former medieval hunting forest, and is the highest ridge of the High Weald. At ten square miles it is the largest open access area in the South East. Ashdown Forest was purchased by East Sussex County Council from the De La Warr family in 1988. It is now managed by a Board of Conservators. Nearly two thirds of it is heathland, areas of which can be seen on both sides of the wide path here which acts as a firebreak. The sandy nature of the soil is also evident. The path leads from the Airman's Grave up to Hollies car park.
