Frant is a largely rural parish in Wealden, East Sussex, set in the rolling, wooded landscape of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It lies just south of Royal Tunbridge Wells and close to the Kent border, with sandstone ridges, hidden ghylls and quiet lanes that attract walkers and cyclists.
The settlement has medieval roots and a compact historic core overlooked by estateland such as Eridge Park, giving the area a blend of country‑house history, agriculture and ancient woodland. Today the local economy mixes farming with commuter households and small businesses, while a busy village community, parish church and seasonal events keep the social life active for visitors exploring the Weald in England.
