Withyham is a largely rural civil parish in Wealden, East Sussex, England, sitting on the northern edge of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to Ashdown Forest. The landscape is a mix of ancient woodland, rolling farmland and historic parkland, centred around country estates such as Buckhurst Park and the moated manor and gardens at Groombridge Place, with the small village of Groombridge and scattered hamlets giving the area a dispersed, village‑green character.
Historically shaped by medieval deer parks and estate culture, Withyham retains strong ties to landed families and conservation; the parish church contains memorials to local dynasties and the estates host occasional public events. The local economy remains agricultural and tourism‑linked, with many residents commuting to nearby towns such as Royal Tunbridge Wells, while walkers, history enthusiasts and fans of the surrounding heath and forest landscape make the parish a quiet but culturally rich corner of the Weald.
