About

The Ghyll is a 42 acre Nature Reserve set on the eastern fringe of Crowborough.  The habitats are home to the site’s wildlife assemblage which is of county-level importance; reflected in the site’s designation as a Site of Nature Conservation Interest (SNCI). These habitats are being enhanced and managed to promote biodiversity.

Visitors can enjoy a walk around the site using public footpaths and other well-walked routes but be aware, the terrain underfoot can be muddy, uneven and steep in places.

A stream is one of the main features in the Ghyll.  It is a tributary of the Medway which snakes its way along the valley bottom actively eroding the clay and sandstone rocks on its way. Follow the stream northwards and look out for ferns and bryophytes (mosses and lichens) on your way through the ancient, semi-natural woodlands.

On the far east of the site, the woodland opens into tussocky grassland before becoming heathy scrub reminiscent of parts of the nearby Ashdown Forest. On the higher ground there are impressive views looking west towards Crowborough.
