Balcombe Ouse Valley Viaduct

Highlight • Bridge

This spot is where you will get the classic standing in the archway infinity shots which are really cool but be prepared for a bit a queue to take them. A really busy place for a good reason.

View of the Ouse Valley Viaduct

Highlight • Bridge

One of the country's most beautiful, ornate viaducts, the Ouse Valley Viaduct is still in use today, carrying trains between London and Brighton. It has 37 spans and is a Grade II-listed structure, completed in 1842. It's easy to enjoy some fantastic views of the viaduct, thanks to nearby footpaths, including the Ouse Valley Way.

Borde Hill Estate Trail

Highlight • Trail

Borde Hill is a well known garden, which is open to the public, set in a much wider estate or arable/sheep/dairy farmland in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty east of Cuckfield. There is a nice wide gravel and semi-sealed trail through the middle of the estate with great views over the Ouse Valley to the north. The bridleway runs between Hanlye Lane, between Cuckfield and Haywards Heath, and Borde Hill Lane, and runs past the main entrance to the garden.
