Blackboys is a small village in the district of Wealden in East Sussex, England, tucked into the rolling, wooded landscape of the High Weald. It sits within easy reach of market towns such as Uckfield and Lewes and not far from the heathland of Ashdown Forest, giving it a distinctly rural, scenic setting.
The settlement’s name and character reflect the Weald’s historic charcoal and iron trades and the old coaching‑inn culture - traditions visible in a handful of timber‑framed houses and the village pub. Today Blackboys is largely residential with farming and small local businesses, retaining a quiet, close‑knit community feel with village‑hall events and countryside pursuits popular with residents and visitors.
