On Tuesday, July 7, 2026, Queen Camilla visited Ashdown Forest in Hartfield to explore the place that inspired the Hundred Acre Wood in A. A. Milne's classic Winnie-the-Pooh books. There, she met staff and volunteers from Ashdown Forest, as well as children from Ashdown Primary School. The Queen also unveiled a new trail, known as the Queen's Walk, which will provide easier access to the forest for future generations.
The Queen visited Poohsticks Bridge, where A. A. Milne played Poohsticks with his son, Christopher Robin, and met three children who recently won a Winnie-the-Pooh-themed poetry competition. The competition was organised by Ashdown Forest in partnership with the Royal Literary Fund, of which the Queen is Patron.
