WALKING TOUR - Balcombe Viaduct - Ease Into The Ouse

Join parliamentary tour guide Nick Richmond on a spring walk to the Ouse Valley Viaduct , described as one of the most beautiful viaducts in Britain . Built in 1842 by Jonathan Rastrick and David Mocatta ( who designed Brighton station ) it's a Victorian marvel of engineering. You've probably been over it many times on the train to London but we're going to see it from a different perspective , wandering among the 37 identical arches ( selfie heaven )

NOTE - this is a " proper " walk through some beautiful countryside - walking shoes are strongly recommended as there may be mud on the way. There is no safe parking at the site and we will need to return the way we came . The walk starts at Haywards Heath train station and it's 3 miles through the Sussex countryside and back again but it is worth the walk .

On the way you'll hear about the triumphs and disasters involved in creating the London to Brighton line . Bring water , conversation , a packed lunch and sunshine .

Tickets are £8 You can pay on the day by card or cash . Look forward to seeing you there
