Combe Valley Way :: Shared Description

The Combe Valley Way Hastings to Bexhill link road connects the Queenway to the West of St Leonards and the A259 and Wrestwood Road in Bexhill.

Construction of the road began in 2013 and opened 17th December 2015 with the surrounding paths finished in 2016, at a cost of over £120m.

As with most new roads, the project has had its objectors. The road runs closely past four working farms, two sites of special scientific interest (SSSI), and a site of nature conservation importance (SNCI). A group of protesters attempted to slow the clearing of trees in January 2013.

As well as the road, a bridleway, cycle paths and pedestrian footpaths, and numerous ponds and drainage ponds were created alongside to form an enhanced and more accessible Combe Valley Countryside Park.

Although a public vote chose to name the road 'Robert Wood Way', after a local soldier, the name 'Combe Valley Way', was chosen by Rother District Council councillors. Chosen to highlight the presence of the park and be clearer for emergency services.
