Forest Row
Forest Row is a village as well as relatively large civil parish in the Wealden District of East Sussex, England. The village lies 3 miles (5 km) south-east of East Grinstead. A selecting ward in the very same name exists. The population of this ward taken at the 2011 Census was 5,278. The town attracts its name from its distance to the Ashdown Forest, a royal hunting park first confined in the 13th century. From its origins as a small community, Forest Row has actually grown, initially with the establishment of a turnpike road in the 18th century; and also later with the opening of the train between East Grinstead and also Tunbridge Wells in 1866; the line, which included an intermediate station at Forest Row, closed in 1967 as a result of the programme of closures advanced by East Grinstead citizen and also British Railways Board Chairman Richard Beeching.
