Willingford from Blackbrooks Wood

A typical Wealden landscape near Burwash. The streams in the valley below were dammed for iron manufacture in Medieval and Roman times.

Willingford Farm

"Please Shut the Gate" is a countryside mantra but this one was open. It leads to the farm track which begins at the brick-built, narrow Willingford Bridge.

Wheel Inn, Burwash Weald

This inn is sited on the A265 in a High Weald village which straggles along the road. It has a traditional tile-hung frontage on its first floor.

The Oast House, Burwash Weald

Oast houses are common not only in Kent, but also across the county border in East Sussex. Like this one, they are often now converted into exclusive houses retaining the distinctive round tower with its white cowl.

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.
