A pointless green lane this one, as it is no more than 100m or so long.

Starting at the eastern end, the byway leaves Steep Road to its end. Pass through the unlocked steel gate a drive in a westerly direction. The green lane quickly descends downhill through a copse and, after getting a little muddy, the byway ends almost as soon as it began, on Hadlow Down Road. As you can tell, not really worth the bother.

As a final note, your intrepid explorers cleared up a decent amount of dumped refuse (drink bottles/cans) which we took to the recycling banks in nearby Crowborough. If you care about both the countryside and our chosen leisure pursuit why not give back to them both by doing the same!

This is East Sussex Byway 'Rotherfield 13'.
