The town of Crowborough lies approximately six miles to the north and provides a good range of shopping and leisure facilities for every day needs including a Waitrose supermarket. The area is well served with a selection of train services with Buxted Station (about 2.7 miles) has services to London Bridge with journey times of around one hour and ten minutes, Tunbridge Wells (12.5 miles) has services to Charing Cross from fifty-two minutes, Haywards Heath (13.5 miles) has services to London Victoria from forty-four minutes. The area is surrounded by rolling fields and open countryside providing wonderful walking and permit riding opportunities in the nearby Ashdown Forest, the inspiration behind A.A.
