Broomfield Wood, located in the county of Sussex, England, is a picturesque and diverse woodland area that spans approximately 200 acres. Situated in the heart of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it is a popular destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

The wood is characterized by its dense canopy of mixed broadleaf trees, including oak, beech, and ash, which create a rich and vibrant habitat for a wide variety of flora and fauna. The forest floor is adorned with a carpet of bluebells in the spring, creating a stunning display of color and fragrance.

Several well-maintained footpaths and trails wind their way through Broomfield Wood, allowing visitors to explore this enchanting landscape. Along the way, there are numerous benches and picnic areas, providing perfect spots to rest and take in the tranquil surroundings.

The wood is home to a diverse range of wildlife, including deer, badgers, foxes, and a plethora of bird species, making it a haven for birdwatchers and wildlife enthusiasts. Birdsong fills the air, making it a blissful place to immerse oneself in the sounds of nature.

Broomfield Wood also holds historical significance, with remnants of ancient earthworks and archaeological sites dating back thousands of years. These remnants serve as a reminder of the wood's rich cultural heritage.

Managed by a local conservation organization, Broomfield Wood aims to preserve and enhance its natural beauty and ecological value. It offers a serene and peaceful escape from the bustling city life, providing visitors with a chance to reconnect with nature and enjoy the wonders of the Sussex countryside.

Foxhunt Green Typical of the number of hamlets found in this part of the Weald which is indicative of how the area was originally settled piecemeal in the middle ages by those prepared to hack away the forest and build small farms and settlements.

Post Office, High Street The village's Post Office is right on the bend of High Street and London Road which until the late 1980s was the main A22, the 90 degree bend causing all manner of problems. Today the street is a quiet backwater thanks to the bypassing of the trunk road.
