The main street boasts an unusual and varied mix of independent shops, from art galleries and antique stores to organic food outlets, which give a flavor of the village’s life and slightly bohemian character. You’ll enjoy wandering through these shops one afternoon, popping into one of the little cafes for tea and cake, and soaking up that friendly village feel.

It’s the outstanding Ashdown Forest that the area’s all about and it’s easily got into from the village.

A. Milne’s famous stories.
