We visited with Clare and her family over the winter holidays, which provided the perfect opportunity for an adventure in Ashdown Forest.

The bridge is a short walk from the car park and once we arrived we stopped to play a game of Poohsticks. What perfect timing! We learned about the origins of Pooh Bear, his co-creators A. Milne and E. Shepard, and their creative process. Seeing many of the original drawings was really something special. Younger visitors will enjoy the many interactive parts of the exhibit including a slide and a drawing table.

Will definitely have to travel to visit this place. This will make for a great family trip! I love this. It looks so lovely though, and it seems like the perfect place to visit with kids!

Love this so much! Serendipitous indeed! I am sure the whole Pooh experience was enough to warm you up from the inside on a cold winters day. I love that someone has put a door for Pooh in the tree. A lady has done something similar on a tree in the park near us. Not been much of a Winnie the Pooh fan, but this looks like a nice walk in the woods! I never knew this was real until Clare wrote about it! My first ever proper country walk was in the Acre Wood! I should take the kids there it was pre-children — it looks lovely in your pics.

How fun! You should definitely take the kids…. We hope to come back someday in the summer! Aww I can image how lovely that must have been to visit and explore. I need to remedy that! What a special treat to find the real places really do exist.

I never knew! Very interested in the movie and would love to see the original drawings and artworks. Fun post Hilary! Thanks for sharing. It was such a treat and sharing it with a friend made it extra special! The movie was definitely worthwhile, but also somewhat sad. The Hundred Aker Wood looks even more gorgeous in your photos, Hilary. Thank you again for being the most amazing guides! This is so priceless!

I never knew that there was an actual Acre Woods! But it seems like another reason to pile onto an already-very long list. I love Winnie the Pooh, and had no idea this existed! I wish Narnia were real, but I think reading about a place before you visit fiction or nonfiction helps me understand the place a little better. So fun right!

We visited Father Christmas this year and the path to his house felt just like Narnia! Reading the book first is always a great idea! Hilary how lovely that you went also. My kids were all brought up on Pooh and his friends. She will love the exhibition. It was a really sweet exhibit. Very worthwhile even though my boys are on the older side. Exploring the forest with Clare was a real treat!! So cool you got to see the Aker Wood, and with Clare. I bet the boys had the best time!

I loved reading about your visit and looking at your pictures! I had no idea this was a real place, either! How cool. I adored these characters when I was little. Eeyore was actually my favorite! Great post and lovely photos! Thank you! I think I might choose piglet if not for Pooh, who I do think must be my favorite… we have an uncle who we refer to as Uncle Eeyore. Ha ha! Must be magical to be able to visit a place that you read about in books.

And also so great that you got to visit with Clare. I love that travel blogging brings people together! Me too! Making new friends from all over the world has been the unexpected highlight of writing a blog!

Oh my, I am screaming with delight right now! My love for travel can be attributed to books too. On top of that, I have loved Winnie the Pooh and all his friends Actually, my first book featured the characters and I started learning English with it.
