Ashdown Forest, the Real Hundred Acre Wood

When I visited Ashdown Forest, the real Hundred Acre Wood of A.A. Milne’s beloved Winnie-the-Pooh stories, in August 2020, I was on a quickly executed and minimally planned trip across the English Channel from France just before the borders closed again due to rising cases of COVID-19. Years earlier I read online that it was possible to play Poohsticks on the very bridge (albeit rebuilt in the pattern of the original) where A.A. Milne played with his son, Christopher.
