Twyford Lane Ford

Highlight • Natural

One of the two fords that give Twyford its name. This is the upstream ford which has a solid concrete base and is usually shallow - test your brakes afterwards!

Tip by

21.7 km

Twyford Lane is home to one of the Ashdown Forest’s more notorious hill climbs - Pillow Mounds. It’s got some steep sections and a few false summits but it’s a more enjoyable climb than the likes of the Wall and Black Hill.
