Burwash is best known as the location of Batemans, for 33 years, home to Rudyard Kipling, and a popular visitor attraction. For two centuries, Burwash was one of the main centres of the Wealden iron industry, and it was an ironmaster who built Batemans in 1634.
With its main street lined with pollarded trees, and a fine church at its centre, it's a very pretty village despite having a busy main road traversing it.
