This walk circuits the sandstone crags of Harrison's Rocks, popular with climbers but good for walkers too. It's a great walk in spring when the bluebells and wild garlic are out.
For a short walk, finish at Groombridge just north of the rocks; the alternative route described here takes in more of the enjoyable High Weald countryside.
