East Sussex - Iron
Country 
 We have named this area in East Sussex, Iron Country because
until the early 19th century a large variety of iron implements were
manufactured in forges within this location. The earliest record of iron
manufacture, is the Roman forge which was discovered at Stonegate during the
1970's.
Firehills and Rother Levels
 We
have named this area Firehills and Rother Levels because the area in general is
influenced by the river Rother and its tributaries, the cliffs along the coast
from Fairlight to Hastings are known as the Firehills, due to the number of
fires started in the gorse during the summer months.
Inland Hills to the Pevensey Levels
 We have named this area Inland Hills to Pevensey Levels
because it runs down from the line of hills from
Battle to
Heathfield towards the
flat marshy land at Pevensey.The area mostly consists of small villages, with
many ancient churches, and a few small towns with interesting history.
High Weald and Oast Houses
 We have named this area High Weald and Oast Houses, because this
area was in the forest of Andreasweald, and there are many Oast houses locally,
which were used to dry hops for the beer industry.
Seven
Sisters to the Ashdown Forest
 We have named this area the Seven Sisters to the Ashdown Forest.
The Ashdown Forest lies north of the area, and the Seven Sisters is the name of
the seven chalk cliffs that can be seen from the headland at Seaford , looking
east towards Eastbourne .
Ashdown Forest and the Ouse Valley
 We have named this area the Ashdown Forest and the Ouse valley
as the villages to the north are dominated by the influence of the wilderness of
the Ashdown Forest, and to the south the Ouse valley found near Lewes.
Smugglers and
Dr Syn
 This area is
dominated by the Romney Marshes with their flat fertile landscapes. The Cinque
Ports , smugglers and owlers were found here, with the book "Dr Syn the
scarecrow" written by Russell Thorndyke giving a feel of the area.
Sevenoaks Weald
 The area consists of old villages with many Elizabethan
houses and Manors such as Hever
and Penshurst, and a number
of modern villages which provide housing for those people working in London ,
Sevenoaks , Maidstone , Tonbridge and Royal Tunbridge Wells .
