Five Ash Down is a small village in the district of Wealden in East Sussex, England, sited on the A22 between Uckfield and Crowborough. It sits close to Ashdown Forest and the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and historically grew as a roadside settlement on an old coaching route, so you’ll find a mix of vernacular cottages and later suburban housing.

Today the settlement is largely residential with a handful of local amenities such as a pub and community hall, and many people commute from nearby Uckfield into London or regional centres. Its attractive countryside setting makes it popular with walkers and cyclists and it often serves as a quiet gateway to the heathland, woodlands and wide views typical of the Weald.
