Welcome to Ridgewood

Ridgewood is a small village located in East Sussex, England. It is situated on the outskirts of the town of Uckfield and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village is known for its peaceful and tranquil atmosphere, making it a popular destination for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.

One of the main attractions in Ridgewood is the Ashdown Forest, which is a large area of heathland and woodland that covers over 6,000 acres. The forest is home to a variety of wildlife, including deer, foxes, and badgers, and is a popular spot for hiking, cycling, and horse riding. Visitors can also explore the forest on one of the many walking trails that wind through the trees and offer stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

Another popular attraction in Ridgewood is the Bluebell Railway, which is a heritage railway that runs between Sheffield Park and East Grinstead. The railway is operated by volunteers and offers visitors the chance to step back in time and experience the golden age of steam travel. The line runs through some of the most picturesque countryside in Sussex and is a must-visit for anyone interested in trains or history.
