Wadhurst sits high in the High Weald, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty that defines the character of this part of the East Sussex and Kent border. It is a working village centered around a long, climbing High Street of traditional tile-hung and weatherboarded buildings, where you’ll still find a proper butcher, a hardware store, and a post office alongside the newer cafes. Geographically, it is dominated by its proximity to Bewl Water, the largest stretch of open water in the South East, which provides a natural boundary to the north. Historically, the village was a hub for the Wealden iron industry, and the local church, St Peter and St Paul, still contains over thirty cast-iron floor slabs - the largest collection of its kind in the country. The railway station is a bit of a walk from the village centre at the bottom of the hill, but it keeps the community connected to London and the coast, while the surrounding landscape remains deeply rural, crisscrossed by ancient sunken lanes and footpaths that lead into the nearby woods.
