The charming village of Withyham is nestled in the Medway Valley close to Ashdown Forest, the highest region of the High Weald AONB. The sandstone outcrops at Penn's Rocks SSSI are worth exploring, whilst nearby Five Hundred Acre Wood was the inspiration behind the Winnie the Pooh stories.

The farmhouse-turned-hostelry of the Dorset Arms serves excellent food. Meanwhile accommodation can be sought in neighbouring Hartfield at the Anchor Inn.
