Burwash Weald on the A265 The A265 has many straight stretches as it runs over the ridges of the High Weald. This village suffers from one of the higher speed limits imposed on drivers. Many Wealden villages, like this one, are sited on the ridges or on hill tops - above formerly ill-drained and wooded river valleys.
