Location
'The Stable' is situated down a quiet no-through country lane one mile from Hailsham, just above the upper reaches of Pevensey Marsh. This historical old market town was granted charter rights by Henry III in 1252 and has three bustling shopping precincts, a modern sports complex and leisure pool.
The surrounding area provides numerous attractions for all ages. The South Downs and Weald afford excellent walks. Quaint villages and hamlets offer refreshment in the old inns and tea-rooms. Beachy Head and the Seven Sisters Country Park grace the chalk coastline between Eastbourne and Seaford. Brighton, Hastings, the county town of Lewes and a number of National Trust properties, castles, gardens and stately homes are all within easy reach.
The Cuckoo Line railway, built in 1849, passed through Hailsham, but was closed in 1965. It now provides a beautiful scenic track and bridleway called the Cuckoo Trail, running from Eastbourne to Heathfield.
A regular bus service stops at the top of Harebeating Lane which travels to Hailsham (1 mile), Polegate (4 miles) and Eastbourne (8 miles). A frequent main line rail service to and from London Victoria Station stops at Polegate and Eastbourne.
