Do

For cyclists and ramblers Heathfield is at the northern end of the Cuckoo Trail, which runs to Polegate (which is the southern terminus of the trail) via the small villages of Horam, Hellingly and Horsebridge and, of course, through the thriving market town of Hailsham via the dismantled railway line, formerly known as the Cuckoo Line. It was a victim of the 1960s Beeching cuts. Naturally, the positive side to this is that we gained the wonderful cuckoo trail from these cuts. remnants of the railway, such as sidings, railway buildings and former platforms are still visible along the way and may be of interest to any rail enthusiasts.

Wine connoisseurs may wish to visit the vineyard at Waldron, to see how wine is made and sample the local wine made here.

Not far to the east of Heathfield is the village of Burwash, a picturesque village. Located there is Batemans, which is a 17th-century Jacobean house managed by the National Trust, which is well worth a visit.

gollark: As a somewhat more rule-abiding person I mostly don't, although the cost/benefit probably does come out in favour.
gollark: Yes. Quite a lot of people use them anyway and just deal with them being confiscated occasionally.
gollark: Also, I can have internet access all day - my school foolishly banned use of phones during lunch break (not just while eating, during the entire 1 hour 30 minute break).
gollark: I do less pointless busywork, less work generally, have a more comfortable home environment to work in, get to type things instead of foolish "writing", and don't have a 45 minute commute to school, which is all nice.
