Crowborough


The Town:

Crowborough is a rural market town with a population of around 20,000. It is situated within East Sussex, but close to Tunbridge Wells in Kent.

The Ashdown Forest, the setting for A.A.Milnes wonderful Winnie the Pooh books is on the doorstep. The town is surrounded by land which is designated as "land of outstanding natural beauty" and this makes development and extension of the town difficult. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is probably the towns most famous ever resident, and the town boasts one of the only statues of him anywhere in the world.

Businesses:

Crowborough has a thriving business community, although there is limited industrial space. The main industrial areas are Farningham Road industrial area and Millbrook Industrial Estate.


There are a number of small purpose built office blocks and the High Street has multi-nationals like Boots, Woolworths, Mackays and Stead and Simpson, as well as a good range of independent retailers. The vast majority of Crowborough businesses are small and operated from home.
