The Hay Wagon Inn. The Anchor Inn. 
The detailed route follows this descriptive narrative.
There are few villages in East Sussex as pretty as Hartfield. Like it's near neighbour Withyham, it formed part of the estate of the Dukes of Dorset. Both villages had a pub called the "Dorset Arms." Withyham still does, but the one in Hartfield has been renamed the "Hay Wagon." It does quite good home-made pies and pizzas, but also roasts and other pub fare, plus the usual puddings.
The Hay Wagon Inn. The Anchor Inn.
Hartfield is the bigger village and also boasts the lovely "Anchor Inn." Quite recently renowned for it's food, the Anchor has degenerated on that front. It seems to be a smoky, blokey place now, with few people eating.
You will find lots of wonderful small buildings in the village, with a diversity of design and materials matched by few large towns. Much of the building dates back to the 16th century. There is also a Victorian brick pump-house dated 1857.
Hartfield has also become synonymous with Winnie-the-Pooh, the little bear immortalised by A.A.Milne. His son Christopher Robin also features in the books, together with other characters, Tigger, Eeyore and Piglet, based I think, on his childhood toys.
After a decent meal in the Hay Wagon, we wandered out of the village with Jonathan, who is seven. He wasn't really in the mood at first, but that was to change.
The weather could have turned wet, but we barely saw a raindrop all day.
I was a little surprised to see electrified barbed wire fences beside the High Weald Landscape Trail, close to the disused railway, they are supposed to be illegal.
Over a stream past the disused railway line, we saw hundreds of Pond Skaters (gerris) trying to keep station in the running water.
After that, we passed through a herd of cows and calves, with an immobile Charolais bull surrounded by four cows. I didn't know whether to sympathise or be envious.
The blackberries are turning a bit soggy now. Flowers are scarce too, apart from a large patch of Common Toadflax (linaria vulgaris) in a watery meadow, some 100 metres from Sawpit Wood and some Wild Radish or Charlock (raphanus raphanistum).
Jonathan was now getting enthused and taking in his surroundings with interest. He recognised insects and plants with surprising accuracy, but he was about to be deceived.
As we crossed a meadow, we spotted a donkey. Having profligate imaginations ourselves, we introduced it to Jonathan as Eeyore. We explained that Christopher Robin used to live nearby and played with him. He retorted that He was Christopher Robin and knew all about Eeyore. We just smiled at each other.
I just hope he doesn't expect the same indulgence if he announces that he is Napoleon in twenty years time.
The donkey didn't help. It was keen to play with him, even if he was a little apprehensive. On the way to Pooh-Sticks Bridge, he talked about his friend Eeyore and, so his mum tells us, hasn't stopped ever since. Oh dear.
The bridge had a number of visitors, despite the grey skies. It was built by a J.C. Osman in 1907, and restored in 1979. It always seems to have masses of people coming from as far afield as Japan and Australia.

Jonathan and I played Pooh-Sticks, which consists of each dropping a small twig over one side of the bridge and running to the other side to see whose floats past first.
I suppose it's better than pretending to be Piglet. The things you do to please younger generation.
Back at Hartfield, you really should complete your pilgrimage with a stop-off at the Farm teahouse on your right, just past the "Pooh Corner" shop. The food and teas are very good.
The Route:
Map: Ordnance Survey Explorer Series 135
Opposite the "Anchor Inn" car park, cross the road and take the High Weald Trail to the left of the tennis courts.
Go beyond the courts, over a stile to enter a small meadow and continue ahead. At the end of the meadow, pass between parallel bars and keep ahead to the left hand side of the field.
Pass through another set of parallel bars, and continue ahead. At the end of the meadow, go over a stile and cross a disused railway track, which has had it's rails removed. Go over another stile and a few paces on, cross a wooden footbridge half left.
The path then goes north west towards a gate near some large oak trees. Cross the stile there and continue ahead on a faintly recognisable path.
Go through the gate at the end of this field and crossing a stile over a ditch, keep going ahead.
Go through another gate still keeping ahead to a small copse. Follow the path through the wood.
Emerge from the wood after crossing two tiny footbridges. You then cross a stile in a deer fence. You will need to open the top section of the fence to get over the stile.
Turn left after the wood and go through a gateway, heading half right to a gap in the fence.
Pass the gap and turn right. Ignore the tyre tracks along the right hand hedge and look for a rutted path to it's left, which takes you to a stile in the opposite fence. Cross over the stile and head to the fence on your left. Ignore the other stile in the corner, instead, turn right here and cross this rough meadow.
Cross another stile in a deer fence with a top section to open. Cross over the field to the opposite fence, or walk around the left boundary if it is newly ploughed.
At the fence you will come to a broad wooden footbridge about 2.44 metres (8ft) wide. Cross it and turn right. Then turn left to follow a broad grassy track by the right hand hedge.
At the end of the field by a post, turn left and soon after enter a gap in the hedge to the right. Cross a section of garden to a driveway and turn left to cross a bridge built of railway sleepers over a large stream.
This leads you to a white gate with white picket fencing. Go past it to cross over the old disused railway again and continue ahead.
When the tracks fork, take the left option, unless you want to end up in the sewage works. About 1/2 km (1/3 of a mile) on the track enters Parrock Lane.
Turn left and after 20 paces, turn right over a stile into a meadow. Follow an enclosed ride along the right boundary. Cross another stile with a small lake to the right and then head diagonally left.
Through a gate, head very slightly right to another gate in the hedge in front of you.
Through that gate, continue ahead to the right of a wood-clad outbuilding and cross a wobbly stile onto an enclosed footpath. Here you turn left.
When you reach the B2110, cross the road and turn left. Just as the road bends left by some buildings, take a drive on the right with a sign to Fincham Farm.
About 20 metres before the Farm gates, cross a stile on your left and head to the middle of the fence to your right.
Fincham Farm, Upper
Hartfield.
Cross the stile and continue ahead following a sheep track to the right corner of the field and cross another stile.
Head towards a post with a yellow arrow on it, to the left of a tennis court and continue past to a metal gate.
Go through the gate and keep ahead. Near the bottom of the field, a wooden fence blocks the way. Head for a rustic stile hidden in the right corner and cross into a sloping meadow.
The hidden rustic
stile.
In the meadow, follow a discernible path to a reddish cedarwood telegraph pole.
Just past the pole, cross a stile onto a long wooden footbridge over a stream.
This takes you to a footpath which runs by the left of a house and garden. This leads to a drive which then enters a lane.
Turn right and just around the corner is a gateway to Forest Park. Hidden behind the right of the brick wall, the entrance to a footpath begins.
Go ahead after the wall, and when the path reaches a brick outhouse with an ivy covered corrugated roof, turn left and follow a concrete drive.
At the end, turn right, still on a concrete drive. After passing a number of steps on the left, take the last one, to cross a stile at the top. Then head diagonally right towards a single telegraph pole and cross an awkward stile there.
Next, head left through a gap in the hedge and then in the field, aim for another gap in the next hedge, to the right of a building. Enter an enclosed section to a wooden gate, which enters a lane.
Turn left on the lane, passing Shank End cottage. Just past another property called Harvest Home, the road divides. Take the left lane with a 40 speed restriction painted in the middle of it.
When the lane bends left, continue along it, passing a house with a gateway adorned with stone horses heads.
About 30 metres on, take a public bridleway on the right which takes you downhill. This eventually brings you to A.A Milne's famous Pooh-Sticks bridge. Cross the bridge and continue up the other side via a sunken track.
The track emerges onto a tarmac lane. Continue ahead for 20 metres and where it forks, turn left.
Just past "The Byres" the lane bends left. On the right is a footpath which takes you over a stile. Head for a gate to the right of a line of trees ahead.
Cross the stile and head just to the left of a large pink house. Cross another stile into a gritty lane, turn right through a kissing gate and over a stile and continue ahead.
Keeping to the left hand side of this longish field, cross over the stile at the end and turn left. A few metres away, in the corner of the field, cross over another stile and continue ahead.
Head downwards along this narrow meadow on Gallipot Farm, with it's lovely vista ahead to cross another stile at it's bottom and continue downwards on a track with a double line of flagstones.
The meadow,
looking north from Gallipot Farm
Cross a stile in a fence at the bottom of this field, continuing ahead to a driveway, which in turn leads to the main road in a few metres.
Turn right along the road and when you reach a junction, bear left and follow the road back into Hartfield and the "Anchor Inn."
