Wonderful place to visit and take a ride on the old steam trains. Just a short drive from here. They also do all sorts of events - from murder mystery to lunch on the Pullman. Worth checking out or just paying a visit. The volunteers tend to be wonderful and full of local knowledge.

Loads to see and do. From fish and chips on the pier, walks along the sea front, shopping in the Lanes and eating in one of the may great restaurants. You can drive or we recommend taking the train from Haywards Heath as parking can be expensive. Trains are frequent and not expensive. Takes 15-20 mins.

Gorgeous old town to visit and wander. Lots to see and do, including visiting the castle, local walks, great shops (not all chains thankfully) and some nice eating spots too. Do take time to walk top to bottom of the high street and over the river. You can drive about 20-30 mins or take the train from Haywards Health.

Wellbeing

They have a nice space with a pool which is both inside and outside - so very nice for sitting outside in the sunshine and a swim. The spa does day passes and often does deals which include lunch.

GETTING AROUND

This is a small village with lots of wonderful places to walk. getting around in the area - there are several choices. Ideally it’s best to have a car. Good value rental cars are Parker’s Haywards Heath and Enterprise Cars Haywards Heath. There is a bus service - the timetable is usually in the kitchen next to the blackboard. It’s the A272 bus service. There are two choices of taxi services: Station Taxis Haywards Heath (tend to be most reliable) and Evo Cars Haywards Heath.
