Drawing A.A. Shepherd

Pooh Bridge, an old wooden bridge in Ashdown Forest near Hartfield was immortalised by author A.A. Milne as the venue for the game Poohsticks in his stories about the honey-loving bear. The original bridge, which dates back to 1907, was partly rebuilt in 1979 and is just off the Downs and Weald cycle route.

Admit it, a part of you wants to make the detour and find Poohsticks Bridge in Ashdown Forest. A.A. Milne wrote the Winnie-the-Pooh stories back in the 1920's and the game Poohsticks was invented by the Bear of Very Little Brain, Winnie, right here at Pooh Bridge.

A.A. Milne also said , "Only children can know true happiness".
