Crowborough is one of the largest inland towns in East Sussex and one of the county's highest points. It is easily reached from London by railway on Southern; a regular bus network connects Crowborough with other towns and villages in Wealden and visitors can also visit the coastal resorts of Eastbourne and Brighton. Details can be found on the East Sussex interactive bus route map.

Crowborough is situated on the edge of Ashdown Forest in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty where horse riding and walking are among some of the leisure activities to enjoy. It is also best known for its famous resident Sir Arthur Conan Doyle creator of Sherlock Holmes

The nearby Ashdown Forest was the inspiration for the Winnie the Pooh stories and the Victorian English nature writer Richard Jeffries was also inspired to write several essays based around Sussex whilst living in Crowborough in the late 1880s.

Crowborough Beacon Golf Club and the Boars Head Golf Centre are among the best golfing experiences in the south with beautifully designed courses in picturesque settings.

Why not follow the Crowborough Mystery Trail - a great way to discover Crowborough and its history.
