Crowborough sits on a high ridge in the district of Wealden, East Sussex, fringed by the heathland of Ashdown Forest and dominated by Crowborough Beacon, one of the highest points in the county with wide views over the Weald. The elevated, wooded terrain and open commons make it popular with walkers, cyclists and anyone wanting easy access to countryside within an hour of London.
Historically the town expanded in the Victorian and Edwardian periods and it has literary associations - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle lived locally for many years - while today its economy is a mix of local shops, small businesses and commuter households. Community life is active, with sports clubs, societies and events centred on the town’s commons and green spaces, and tourism linked to outdoor recreation and the nearby forest.
