Forest Row is a semi-rural ward on the northern edge of Ashdown Forest within the Wealden district of East Sussex, England. It sits in the rolling countryside of the High Weald AONB, so the landscape is a mix of heathland, woodland and small agricultural plots, with a scattering of historic buildings and village-style streets rather than dense urban development.
Locally the area punches above its weight culturally and economically: a lively cluster of independent shops, cafés and small businesses sits alongside a noticeable wellbeing and alternative-lifestyle scene, and the proximity to Ashdown Forest brings walkers, riders and nature lovers. Many residents commute to larger towns or London, but there remains a strong community feel with village events, conservation groups and tourism linked to the surrounding countryside.
