Heathfield
Heathfield is a small market town in East Sussex, England. The town lies near the crossroads of two main roads: the A267 between Tunbridge Wells and Eastbourne; and the A265 from Hawkhurst. It is virtually equidistant from Tunbridge Wells and Eastbourne: roughly 16 mi (26 km). In the past, Heathfield lay on an ancient trackway (The Ridgeway), connecting the South Downs with the Weald. Its market charter was given in February 1316 during the reign of Edward II. The Wealden iron brought wealth to the town during the 16th and 17th centuries; the arrival of the train (the Cuckoo Line) in 1880 offered it another new lease of life. The latter was not a financial success and the branch line in between Eridge and Polegate closed in 1968. The trackbed is now called the Cuckoo Trail, part of the National Cycle Network. The original village, described as Old Heathfield, is now only part of the town, which has broadened over time. The town holds an annual fair named the Heffle Cuckoo Fair each April, and the annual Heathfield show happens each May in the summer. There is an Anglo/French market called Le Marché held yearly on the August Bank Vacation and a fair that visits during the Summer season. There is a fairly big football field and a little playground. At Cross-in-Hand there is a rugby club for adults and kids. Within the town, there are 2 flower designers, various churches, a couple of hair and beauty parlor, 2 boutiques, an electrical store, 2 bookshops, 2 ironmongers, 5 charity stores, 2 clubs, a green grocer, a butcher, a baker, 2 antique shops, a supermarket, and a variety of banks, estate agents, and eateries. For all your home improvements, make certain to identify trusted contractors in Heathfield to make certain of quality.
