East Grinstead & surrounding area
East Grinstead and Crowborough offer a blend of history and culture, with easy access to nature.
With its historic high street, lined with mediaeval timber-framed buildings, East Grinstead is a picture-perfect place for hitting the shops. It’s also the starting point for the much-loved Bluebell Railway – a steam train that runs through the scenic Sussex countryside. A thrill, whatever your age.
Nature-lovers will fall head over heels for Ashdown Forest, just near Crowborough. The expansive woodlands and walking trails are ideal for a day of outdoors exploration. This is also close to the former home of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who famously invented Sherlock Holmes.
