Horsted Keynes is a small conservation village in Mid Sussex, West Sussex, England, set in the rolling sandstone hills of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Narrow lanes, timber‑framed and flint cottages and a historic parish church give the village a distinctly medieval character while remaining within commuting reach of nearby towns and London.
The village is best known for its station on the heritage Bluebell Railway, a steam line that draws many visitors and helps support local pubs, shops and B&Bs. Historically agricultural and named after a Norman landowning family, Horsted Keynes today mixes long‑standing rural community life - centred on the village hall, cricket green and annual fetes - with residents who commute, making for a quiet yet socially active local economy.
