Wadhurst is on the Kent/Sussex border seven miles east of Crowborough and about seven miles south of Tunbridge Wells. It lies on a high ridge of wooded hills between the North and South Downs near Bewl Water reservoir. The Church of St. Peter and St. Paul dominates the centre of Wadhurst and the town's former iron industry is the reason for the many iron gravestones in the churchyard. There are two early Georgian houses in the High Street: the Old Vicarage and Hill House, with the rest of town a variety of building styles dating from the 15th century. The Victorian era saw Wadhurst expand towards the new railway station, which is the highest in southern England.
