Uckfield is a market town and civil parish in Wealden, East Sussex, England, sitting in the valley of the River Uck in the High Weald. It has ancient roots around fords and bridges, with pockets of timber-framed buildings and a compact high street that reflect its long history, and countryside such as Ashdown Forest close by, making it popular with walkers and riders.
Today Uckfield combines local independent shops, retail parks and small industry with a significant commuter population using the branch rail services towards London. The town has active community groups, seasonal events and sports clubs, and has invested in flood‑defence work after a history of flooding from the River Uck, all of which shapes its evolving civic and social life.
