About

The Crowborough Country Park is designated a Site of Nature Conservation Interest set in a disused clay quarry.  It is a 16 acre local nature reserve (LNR) set within the urban fringes of Crowborough in the area of Jarvis Brook.  An undulating circular stone track meanders through the site amongst tall trees, ponds and a picnic area, making it the perfect place for a peaceful walk or a family picnic.

The park started life as a clay quarry and evidence of its industrial past can still be seen in the exposed rock faces, rock outcrops and slippages.  The quarry was largely left to natural regeneration until 2008 when Crowborough Town Council acquired the site with the intention of developing it for use by the Public for informal recreation and also to enhance the site’s biodiversity.

A diverse mosaic of habitat is present in the park including scrub woodland, remnant ancient coppice, wet marshy areas, streams, grassy and heathy glades, ponds, rock outcrops & slippages.

The main stream on site runs through a steep rocky gorge before flowing through areas of ancient hazel and ash coppice and there is also a carpet of bluebells in the spring. These habitats form homes for a wide variety of flora and fauna.
