- ALWAYS follow the Greenlane Code!
Update 13/01/2014: Your intrepid explorers have since discovered that this byway is now subject to a TRO in place for 6 months from 15/02/2014 and is as such closed to all motorised traffic (i.e. horses, cyclists and pedestrians only). This is partly due to the impact of forestry traffic, but partly due to the anti-social actions of the irresponsible minority abusing the greenlane. DON'T be part of the problem. Hopefully, after repairs, the byway will open again, but due to ESCC's precedents one shouldn't hold one's breath...

You're just not getting in. |

This unusually straight lane continues to undulate gently through beautiful woodland as one travels westbound. However, and I am hesitant to say it, but there is possible evidence of illegal offroading to be seen at various places along the tract. I'm hesitant because some of it is almost certainly from forestry operations. But some of it blatantly isn't, so stay to the track and report anyone you see straying to both the police and GLASS, here.

For the kids, Blackberry Farm petting zoo lies just to the north of the eastern end of the lane. And within the same acreage of woodland lies 'Rowland Wood & Park Corner Heath', a nature reserve belonging to the noble Butterfly Conservation charity, is well worth a visit in the warmer months.
To East Sussex County Council this is Laughton Byway 26.
