Cuckfield is a beautiful, vibrant Sussex village that boasts independent boutique-style shops that are well worth perusing. The closest stations are Balcombe and Haywards Heath. Fashionistas will adore Neilson boutique, foodies will be in heaven at Tom’s Food and lovers of beautiful flowers and carefully curated one-off gifts and homewares won’t be disappointed as they browse Tigers to Lilies. When you’re all shopped out, take a ride on the Bluebell Railway at Horsted Keynes, enjoy a tour at Bolney Wine Estate or lose yourself in Borde Hill Gardens.
