Rotherfield

Describing itself as “The Best Kept Secret in Sussex”   Rotherfield is the largest parish in East Sussex and also one of the oldest settlements within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, dating back to Saxon times.

 

Visitors will find antique shops, local village stores, traditional pubs selling real ales and an historic church – St Deny’s - that dates back to the 11 th Century. But the village website says it is not an ‘Olde Worlde’ tourist village, but that it's friendly, not quaint, surrounded by beauty and with a real sense of community.
