Hawthbush Farm
Heathfield, Wealden, England
In 2009, our family moved to Hawthbush Farm in rural East Sussex. The farm’s oral history has been passed down from family to family with the only stipulation being a love of the land and a sense of responsibility for the continued guardianship of it in its natural state. Our goal on arrival was to tread lightly on the land. We’d lived on a farm before, but this was different, much more immersive: we slotted into the farm’s harmonious ecosystem, not the other way around. **Directions** CAR: Our address is Hawthbush Farm, Gun Hill, East Sussex, TN21 0JY (use 0JX for satnav). We are a mile from the A22 on Gun Hill on the south side of the road, where you will find a farm track with a red sign saying Hawthbush Farm on the roadside, there is a gate and a buzzer. TRAIN: The nearest station is Berwick (10 mins drive away) which will take you to Lewes. Direct London services can be had from Lewes (20 mins drive) and Uckfield (20 mins drive). PLANE: Gatwick airport is only 50 minutes drive from the farm.
