8.5 miles to the tea rooms 10.2 miles to the Car Park for the Pooh Sticks walk.
Walk in the Ashdown Forest and play Pooh sticks on THE Pooh Sticks bridge followed by tea at Pooh Corner in Hartfield
Pooh Corner is the 'Gateway' to Pooh Country and gives information about the locations of the Winnie-the-Pooh stories and the famous Poohsticks Bridge.
Most of us can relate to one of the characters in the A.A.Milne's books, Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner. But whether you are a bouncy Tigger, nervous Piglet, bossy Rabbit or a gloomy Eeyore you are bound to enjoy a trip to Pooh Corner.
The 300 year old facade of this little shop belies the extent of the interior. This surprising establishment is home to the world's largest collection of 'Pooh-phernalia'.
If you plan to visit the actual 'Pooh Places', call in to Pooh Corner first and Pick up your FREE Map before you start your 'Expotition' to find them.
There are no charges to visit Pooh Corner or any of the real Pooh Places and they are open to the public throughout the year. If you decide to find the famous Poohsticks Bridge and follow in the footsteps of Christopher Robin, first check out the 'Official Rules for Playing Poohsticks', there's a rather clever way to win! Oh yes, and don't forget to take your 'Expotition' certificate with you to tick off the places you visit so that you can return to Pooh Corner and have it endorsed with a free gold sticker and become 'Certified'!
