Broad Oak is a small rural village in the Wealden district of East Sussex, England, set amid the rolling farmland and ancient woodlands of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The settlement is typically composed of lanes, hedgerows and traditional timber‑framed cottages, giving easy access to country walks and a distinctly countryside feel.
Historically it grew from agricultural roots - the name likely recalling a notable oak or common land - and the local economy still leans on small farms, nurseries and commuters to nearby towns. Social life is village‑centred, with a village hall, church and occasional pub or community events that sustain a strong sense of neighbourliness and local tradition.
