‘Hawkhurst is just waiting to be explored’The ancient Wealden village of Hawkhurst is renowned for its beautiful surroundings and colourful history, not least for the notorious Hawkhurst Gang of ruthless smugglers who terrorised the village neighbourhood in the 18th century. Today, Hawkhurst comprises the districts of the Moor, that boasts a beautiful parish church and village green, and Highgate, where a selection of village shops are set on the 200 year-old Colonnade. Hawkhurst sits amidst the stunning High Weald landscape and is within easy reach of the sea, the nearby historical towns of Rye, Tunbridge Wells, Battle and Hastings and easily accessible attractions such as Bedgebury National Pinetum, Bewl Water reservoir and a number of world famous houses and gardens. The village is surrounded by ancient woodlands, orchards and pastures and a network of public footpaths, including the Hawkhurst Heritage Trail; all are just waiting to be explored.
