Heathfield is a small market town in East Sussex, England. The town lies near the crossroads of 2 main roads: the A267 between Tunbridge Wells and Eastbourne; and the A265 from Hawkhurst. It is roughly equidistant from Tunbridge Wells and Eastbourne: around 16 mi (26 kilometres). In the past, Heathfield lay on an ancient trackway (The Ridgeway), connecting the South Downs with the Weald. Its market charter was awarded in February 1316 throughout the reign of Edward II. The Wealden iron brought wealth to the town during the course of the 16th and 17th centuries; the arrival of the train (the Cuckoo Line) in 1880 granted it another new lease of life. The latter was not a financial success and the branch line in between Eridge and Polegate closed in 1968. The trackbed is now named the Cuckoo Trail, part of the National Cycle Network. The initial village, described as Old Heathfield, is now merely part of the town, which has broadened over time. The town holds an annual fair called the Heffle Cuckoo Fair each April, and the yearly Heathfield show takes place each May in the summer. There is an Anglo/French market called Le Marché held annually on the August Bank Holiday and a fair that visits during the course of the Summertime. There is a relatively big football field and a little play ground. At Cross-in-Hand there is a rugby club for adults and kids. Within the town, there are 2 floral designers, various churches, a couple of hair and beauty salons, 2 boutiques, an electrical store, 2 bookshops, 2 ironmongers, 5 charity shops, 2 clubs, a green grocer, a butcher, a baker, 2 antique shops, a supermarket, and a variety of banks, estate agents, and restaurants.
