Crowborough

Crowborough is a town in Wealden, East Sussex, England, sitting on the northern edge of Ashdown Forest within the High Weald. It occupies a ridge culminating at Crowborough Beacon, one of the highest points in the South East, giving wide views and a landscape of heath and woodland that still shows traces of its historic ironworking and timber industries.

The town combines a strong local community with commuter links to London and Brighton; visitors note its literary connection - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle lived in the town - and local attractions such as Crowborough Museum. Independent shops, schools, clubs and outdoor leisure centred on the forest give it a relaxed, semi-rural character rather than a purely suburban feel.
