Longer if you are travelling from the north towards Ardingly but gradual enough to get into a decent rhythm apart from the traffic at peak times.

These old windmills are the best proof that people were clever enough a number of centuries ago - long before the discovery of electricity and the inventions that resulted from it - to harness the power of the elements for their own purposes: no human or animal muscle power is needed for the grinding process, but the wind captured by the wings is enough to drive the heavy millstones and thus, for example, to grind flour from grain (grain mills) or to press oil from olives (oil mills). Often they are only technical and historical evidence of a long tradition of craftsmanship, because most of the old mills have been abandoned over time.

Fans of AA Milne's 'Winnie the Pooh' books will love visiting poohsticks bridge. Locals say this is the location where AA Milne first played poohsticks with his son, Christopher. Although this is not the original, as the first, called Posingford Bridge and built in 1907, fell into disrepair as so many people visited and walked on it. This bridge was erected in 1999 in the same style and was built with help from a grant from Disney. Make sure to carry some sticks with you to the bridge so you aren't disappointed!
