Once part of the Weald’s iron smelting industry, Brede High Woods’ historical influence is present throughout the site today. There are saucer-shaped bell pits from iron ore extraction, boundary banks and ditches, sunken lanes and the sites three farms – Brede High Woods holds fascinating evidence of centuries of human activity.
