Local Information
Crowborough is set within the High Weald of outstanding Natural Beauty and borders the Ashdown Forest. The gorgeous countryside around the town is a walkers’ paradise and there are also facilities nearby for horse riders, cyclists and rock climbers.
Situated just south of Tunbridge Wells on the A26, Crowborough is about halfway between London and the south coast. The town is also served by a mainline rail station, where the journey time to London is about one hour, whilst Gatwick Airport can be reached in approximately 45 minutes by car.
Its most famous resident was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, of Sherlock Holmes fame, who is commemorated by a statue which stands at the main crossroads in town. The town centre gives the impression of being a bustling village, with excellent supermarket provision and numerous small, independent retailers, restaurants and cafes. There is a farmers’ market once a month and the luxury of plentiful free parking.
If you have school age children, there are a selection of highly regarded primary and preparatory schools located nearby. There is also a wide range of excellent state and public schools in the area for older children. Under certain circumstances, bus services are available providing transport to grammar schools located just over the county border into Kent.
Crowborough provides excellent sporting facilities, with golf at both Crowborough Beacon Golf Club and Boars Head, Crowborough Tennis & Squash Club and the Crowborough Leisure Centre. The spa town of Royal Tunbridge Wells with its more comprehensive facilities is about 8 miles distant, whilst the coast at both Brighton and Eastbourne can be reached within one hours drive.
