Robertsbridge & surrounding area

Robertsbridge, Northiam and Burwash offer a quintessential slice of rural Sussex life. These three charming villages are each nestled within the High Weald National Landscape, which offers exceptional outdoor experiences for walkers and nature lovers alike.

Robertsbridge is home to traditional inns and antique shops. And the neighbouring village, Burwash, is where renowned author Rudyard Kipling lived. Today, his beautiful home – Bateman’s – is a National Trust museum that offers a fascinating insight into his life and work. From here, you’re also a short distance from Bodiam Castle, one of the most well-preserved medieval castles in England.
