Editing Ashdown Forest (section)

===Travelling to Ashdown Forest===
Most visitors come by car, and access is straightforward. The forest is crossed by a major road, the [[A22 road|A22]], which provides access from the [[M25 motorway|M25]] and [[M23 motorway|M23]] motorways. There are over 40 car parks across the forest to discourage drivers from parking their vehicles on roadsides.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Parking |url=https://ashdownforest.org/enjoy/tourist/parking.php |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210614125947/https://ashdownforest.org/enjoy/tourist/parking.php |archive-date=14 Jun 2021 |website=Ashdown Forest}}</ref> In January 2022 the Conservators announced the findings of a public consultation and then voted to introduce car parking charges to the forest for the first time <ref>{{cite web|url= https://crowboroughlife.com/parking-charges-ashdown-forest/|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20211026185359/https://crowboroughlife.com/parking-charges-ashdown-forest/|url-status= usurped|archive-date= 26 October 2021|title= Parking charges on Ashdown Forest|date= 26 October 2021}}</ref>  The nearest railway station is at {{rws|East Grinstead}}, which receives frequent train services from London.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.eastsussex.gov.uk/roadsandtransport/public/train/default.htm|title=Getting around by train – East Sussex County Council|website=Eastsussex.gov.uk|access-date=16 December 2017}}</ref> The railway stations at {{stn|Tunbridge Wells}}, {{stn|Eridge}}, {{stn|Crowborough}} and {{stn|Uckfield}} are also nearby.<ref name="ashdownforest.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.ashdownforest.com/how-to-get-here/|title=How to Get Here - Ashdown Forest|website=Ashdownforest.com|date=25 March 2014 |access-date=16 December 2017}}</ref> Two bus services cross the forest, the 261 service from East Grinstead railway station to Uckfield and the 270 service from East Grinstead railway station to Haywards Heath.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.eastsussex.gov.uk/roadsandtransport/public/buses/downloadmaps.htm|title=Bus travel in East Sussex – East Sussex County Council|website=Eastsussex.gov.uk|access-date=16 December 2017}}</ref> London Gatwick Airport is about 30 minutes away by car, and London Heathrow Airport is around 1 hour away by car.<ref name="ashdownforest.com"/>
