Burwash is a compact village and civil parish in the district of Rother, set in the rolling, wooded landscape of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in East Sussex, England. Its centre is characterised by sandstone and flint buildings, narrow lanes and traditional village amenities, with farming and small local businesses still shaping the economy and a lively community life centred on the village hall, pubs and clubs.
Burwash is best known for its literary connection: the 17th‑century house Bateman's, home of Rudyard Kipling for three decades, is now cared for by the National Trust and draws walkers and history enthusiasts. The surrounding countryside offers footpaths, ancient woodland and an essentially rural character that supports modest tourism alongside everyday village life.
