eirdre Huston is walking ancient
tracks of chalk, cobbles and grass
to research trails and learn how the
Wealden landscape has been shaped
by the past. A walk becomes perfect
when she stumbles across extra-special
places. Wander though the SSSI at Rocks Wood
on a summer’s day: sunlight creeps through the
canopy, water rushes around rocks in a ghyll-side
stream and ferns unfurl their leaves towards the
light, reaching up from the damp, dark soil.
In summer 2018, Day Walks on the High Weald
will be released by Vertebrate Publishing and
Deirdre hopes to also exhibit a collection of
photographs which encapsulate this unique area.
