Burwash is a compact village and civil parish in the district of Rother, East Sussex, England, set amid the rolling sandstone hills and ancient mixed woodland of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Its historic centre is notable for handsome timber‑framed Wealden houses and the parish church St Bartholomew's, giving the place a characterful, old‑world feel that attracts visitors and residents who appreciate rural charm.
The parish is best known for Bateman's, the 17th‑century house once home to Rudyard Kipling and now managed for the public, which brings a steady trickle of cultural tourism. Locally the economy still leans on farming and small businesses, with pubs, a primary school and regular village events sustaining a close community atmosphere; it’s also popular with people seeking a quieter base while working elsewhere.
