About Crowborough

Known for

Arthur Conan Doyle's home (he lived here for 23 years and is buried in the churchyard), Ashdown Forest (the inspiration for Winnie the Pooh's Hundred Acre Wood), and a High Weald market town of real literary significance

A little history

Arthur Conan Doyle moved to Windlesham Manor in Crowborough in 1907 and lived there until his death in 1930. Ashdown Forest — the largest area of open land in the South East — inspired A.A. Milne's Hundred Acre Wood. Christopher Robin Milne and his father walked the forest extensively.

Local tip

The Conan Doyle connection is marked locally — he's buried in the churchyard. Ashdown Forest for the Pooh Sticks bridge (follow the signs from Chuck Hatch). The High Weald walking. The town has good independent shops.
