Walkers are always welcome on The Hurtwood.
We do want you to be aware that the Hurtwood is a natural environment with many hidden obstacles as well as man-made ditches and banks to prevent fly-tipping; you visit the Hurtwood entirely at your own risk.
We have 15 official car parks, but please remember vehicles are parked at your own risk, and do not leave any valuables in you vehicle.
There are over 60 miles of paths and bridleways, some steep paths more suitable for fitter walkers whilst there are plenty of less hilly areas if you wish to go for a more gentle stroll.
Horse riders are also very welcome on The Hurtwood. Please keep to the existing network of trails where possible, and avoid Mountain Bike trails. Horse boxes are welcome in the car parks, though the entrance to car park no.1 (Holmbury Hill) has a steep incline.
To see the locations of car parks, and how to access them, please go to our Location page. Vehicles are parked at your own risk, and do not leave any valuables in your vehicle.
