The village itself has been designated a Conservation Area, as several Grade II listed buildings line the centre and St. Denys Church is Grade I listed. This beautiful sandstone church with a tall spire dates back to the 11th century and is known for its impressive wall paintings and stained glass. Close to the village, there is Ashdown Forest where you can enjoy walking, exhibitions and wildlife. This ancient forest captures the imagination of children who visit, as it was this area that inspired the stories and illustrations for Winnie the Pooh! If you want the amenities of a popular spa town, Tunbridge Wells is only seven miles away from Rotherfield. Discover wonderful architecture, farmers markets and independent stores in Royal Tunbridge Wells and, of course, you can partake of the spa waters.
