Wadhurst is a small market town in the district of Wealden, East Sussex, England, sitting on a sandstone ridge within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The town has a compact centre of timber‑framed, Georgian and Victorian buildings and offers wide views over the surrounding wooded Weald, with easy access to countryside walks and the nearby reservoir at Bewl Water.
Historically the settlement grew on agriculture and the old Wealden iron industry, and today blends a local high‑street community with a significant commuter population served by the railway on the Hastings Line, linking through Tonbridge into London. It retains a lively civic life with independent shops, pubs and community events that reflect its rural yet well connected character.
