The rocks are huge and well worth a look. But I went with our two labradors for a walk. I took a photo of the map as we went in so that I had some sort of reference to where to go, but I think I still managed to get a bit lost and thats with Google maps as well. I was aiming for a 5 mile round trip walk, but I think we ended up only doing 3 as I must of turned left along the back section of the path too early. No harm done and will definitely go back as it's simply beautiful to walk through the nature reserve. There are wild ponies and goats in the reserve and while we saw evidence of them [via their droppings] thats the only evidence they are there as there are.so many places that they could be. I honestly couldn't believe how quiet [once you away from the flight path overhead] and relaxing a walk it was. Also it's so quiet we only saw 3 other people in the 2 hours we were wandering about.

Absolutely stunning. You can take the low path or venture across the high rocks for even more of an adventure. Either way, it’s a beautiful nature reserve. You feel as if you are stepping back in time.

Been passing this place, off and on all my life ( 50yrs ) and never evening knew it existed. Worth going to the little car park that leads straight onto the rocks area, by turning into driveway for Eridge Church, just off the main road from TW to Crowborough. Lovely walks through woods and rocks. If you head to Broadwater Warren before the stones there's a bigger car park but the walks that side are woods and grass land. They have wild long horned goats there, that I saw. Sorry no photos of them and apparently some wild ponies but again, didn't see them. It does all lead on to each other. Definitely worth a visit.

Absolutely a beautiful place. Stunning rocks from the stone age time, make you feel connected with it. Lots of paths to walk, also you can get to see some historical part of The trunk turret - Churchill's. Great part of history as most of the UK know of such a richness in history. Recommend if you love nature, hike and walk.

I recently had the pleasure of exploring the Eridge Rocks Nature Reserve, and it was a delightful experience! The reserve is easily accessible, featuring a decent-sized car park that offers free parking—what a bonus compared to other locations like High Rocks, where you have to pay for both parking and entrance. As I ventured into the woods, I was greeted by a beautifully maintained path that is fairly level, making it accessible for all. The shade provided by the towering trees kept me cool throughout my walk, which added to the overall comfort of the experience. Along the way, I appreciated several information boards that offered insights into the local flora and fauna, enhancing my connection to the natural surroundings. Overall, Eridge Rocks Nature Reserve is a perfect spot for a peaceful stroll amidst nature without the stress of fees. Whether you're a local or just passing through, I highly recommend visiting this gem for a refreshing escape!
