Haywards Heath, West Sussex A True English Gem

Of all the beautiful places in the Country of England, there are few that can compare with the true English gem that is called Haywards Heath – West Sussex. Nestling between verdant hills in the very centre of the Sussex countryside the scenery is magnificent. There are close to 128 square miles of hills and valleys, rivers and villages in this area, which has been designated an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The South Downs National Park, towards the North Weald is less than an hours journey from London, England’s capital city. This whole area of West Sussex boasts a plethora of ancient homes, barn conversions, vineyards and serene villages. It truly is a slice of old England in the 21st century.

There are many fine Victorian and Edwardian residences in the town of Haywards Heath. These stately piles stand in manicured gardens ringed by a beautiful conservation area that is known as Muster Green. The town has a warm and friendly air about it, and it is known for a wide variety of bistros, wine bars and excellent restaurants serving up the finest in cuisine at reasonable prices too. Most of these establishments are in an area of town that has been pedestrianised and called the Broadway.

There is no shortage of places for visitors to have fun and just relax. As an example. There is Victoria Park, and Beech Hurst Gardens which are perfect for having a picnic enjoying open air music concerts or indulging in a sport called pitch and putt, which is favoured by the locals. For the more energetic there are plenty of fine cycling and hiking trails that surround the town or take you to outlying villages in the surrounding hills.

A town worth mentioning is East Grinstead. This is a market town that dates back to the year circa 1221.It has several fine Georgian and Regency buildings and a number of the 14th century timber buildings. This makes East Grinstead, a special place in the hearts of history lovers.

West Sussex is worth a visit at any time of the year. In the springtime, the whole region is ablaze with bluebells, masses of them! These can be viewed on foot or on the local steam railway called, naturally, the Bluebell steam railway. If you are an animal lover why not pay a visit and see the spring lambs at Washbrooks Farm. Also, see the wonderful colourful gardens at the Great Gardens of Sussex attraction.

There is lots to see and do in the summer time; the South of England show, the English wine week, and the famous maze down at Tullys farm. In the autumn period, you can take brisk walks across the Downs and enjoy kicking through the crisp green, orange and yellow fall leaves as you head towards High Beeches and Wakehurst. The Wintertime? Well, a popular pastime for visitors in winter is to settle down in a comfortable chair in old English Pub drinking a pint or so of Sussex ale in front of a blazing fire. Add to that, a hot roast lunch, and what better way could you find to spend a winter break in Haywards Heath – West Sussex than that?
