Welcome to Five Ashes

Five Ashes is a small village located in the Wealden district of East Sussex, England. The village is situated between the towns of Mayfield and Heathfield and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The name Five Ashes is believed to have originated from the five ash trees that once stood at the crossroads in the village.

The village has a rich history dating back to the 13th century when it was known as Fyve Asshes. The village was once a thriving agricultural community with many farms and orchards. Today, Five Ashes is a quiet residential village with a population of around 500 people. The village has a primary school, a village hall, and a pub called The Five Ashes Inn.

Five Ashes is a great place to explore the beautiful countryside of East Sussex. The village is surrounded by many footpaths and bridleways that lead to stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The village is also close to many attractions such as the historic town of Battle, the seaside town of Eastbourne, and the beautiful gardens of Sheffield Park. Whether you are looking for a peaceful retreat or an active holiday, Five Ashes has something to offer everyone.
