Jill is organising a trip to Hawkhurst. Details later. It will entail a bus trip.
The ancient Wealden village of HAWKHURST is widely known for its beautiful surroundings, long history, and the notorious “Hawkhurst Gang” of ruthless 18th century smugglers. Hawkhurst, today, consists of two districts: The Moor with its beautiful Parish Church and village green, and Highgate
with its village shops centred on the attractive, almost two hundred year old, Colonnade. Explore the
Hawkhurst Heritage Trail, of just under six miles, to discover some of our history.
Set in the inspiring landscape of the High Weald, Hawkhurst is within easy reach of the sea, of interesting historical towns like Rye, Royal Tunbridge Wells, Battle and Hastings, and of excellent countryside attractions including Bedgebury National Pinetum, Bewl Water reservoir and world famous houses and gardens.
Nearer at hand the village is surrounded by beautiful woodlands, orchards and pasture land, many criss crossed by public footbaths. Relax in a pub garden, sample some local food, come and discover Hawkhurst, the crossroads of the Weald.
