DESCRIPTION FROM
Area
'The railway opened in 1880 and became known as the Cuckoo Line because traditionally, the first cuckoo of spring was released from a cage at Heathfield Fair. The line was axed under the Beeching cuts and eventually closed in 1968. Improvements to the path started in 1990 with the partnership of Sustrans. The Cuckoo Trail is jointly owned and managed by Wealden District Council and East Sussex County Council.'
