TheCuckooTrail The picturesque trail follows the former ‘Cuckoo Line’ railway track and stretches from Heathfield to Shinewater Park. It passes through Horam, Hailsham and Polegate.
WhatyouwillfindThe trail is host to an array of wildlife. In May, look for butterflies such as the orange-tip. You might even see bullfinch, lesser whitethroat weasels or the infamous cuckoo that is usually solitary and flies with shallow wing beats.And listen out for the laughing call of the green woodpecker and a host of other birds. The dunnock, like a sparrow but not a sparrow! Commonly seen hopping about on or near the ground along the Trail and sings a rolling, warbling song from an exposed perch. It nests in dense cover such as thorn bushes and may unwittingly play host to a Cuckoo. Lady’s Smock also known as Cuckoo Flower is commonly found in damp places along the Trail. The pale mauve flowers with four petals appear in spring. The Orange Tip butterfly starts life as a bright orange egg. This deters other Orange Tips from laying eggs on the same plant. Only the male butterfly has an orange tip to the cream wings. The green caterpillars of the Orange Tip feed mainly on the Cuckoo Flower. There’s also wild garlic at several places between Hellingly and Horam with its pungent aroma. In early summer, orchids grow near path edges and under trees.For more information see: www.eastsussex.gov.uk Contact the ranger: [email protected] For the national cycling network: www.sustrans.org.uk
