A large village on the northern
edge of the Ashdown Forest,
Forest Row was a popular place
in the 14th century when the
King and his Lords used it as a
base for hunting.
Continuing south-east across Ashdown Forest, the tour finishes at Uckfield, a town now by-passed and the terminus

A large village on the northern edge of the Ashdown Forest, Forest Row was a popular place in the 14th century when the King and his Lords used it as a base for hunting.
In the 1870s a Dr Prince persuaded Lord Abergavenny, the landowner, to develop this area, bordering the Ashdown Forest and set at a healthy 800 ft above sea level, as a health resort.
Part of it was
a pumping station used to pump sea water to standpipes
dotted around the town for Council workmen to draw off
water to wash down the dusty streets.
