Mayfield and Five Ashes are neighbouring communities in the district of Wealden, East Sussex, England, set amid the rolling, wooded landscape of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Mayfield has a compact historic core with timber‑framed houses and a medieval parish church, reflecting the village’s long history as a local service centre, while Five Ashes is a smaller settlement whose name recalls a traditional crossroads marked by ash trees.
The local economy remains largely rural, centred on farming, small businesses and local services, with many residents commuting to larger towns. Social and cultural life is village‑focused, with active halls, clubs and seasonal fetes and fairs; the wider landscape also bears traces of historic industries typical of the High Weald, such as small‑scale ironworking and agricultural change over the centuries. Together the two places feel like a slice of classic Sussex countryside with a strong community spirit and plenty of historic character.
