Ardingly Reservoir and Ouse Valley Viaduct - Green Photography Hike - 21km

Join Trail Therapy for a scenic 21km countryside hike through the heart of Sussex, combining peaceful reservoir paths, woodland trails, rolling hills, and the iconic Ouse Valley Viaduct.

Starting near Ardingly Reservoir, this route takes us through some of the area’s most beautiful landscapes, with a mix of forests, open countryside, panoramic viewpoints, and picturesque trails along the way. The highlight of the day is the breathtaking Ouse Valley Viaduct, one of the South East’s most impressive landmarks.

This is a relaxed and social group hike designed for people who enjoy a proper day outdoors, good conversations, and escaping the city for a while. Whether you come solo or with friends, expect a welcoming group atmosphere and plenty of great scenery throughout the day.

We’ll sort tickets and logistics, you just turn up and enjoy 😁
