Local Attractions, Chequers, Maresfield

The Chequers is an ideal spot to get away from it all, or as a base to explore beautiful East Sussex. Enjoy walks and spectacular views in Ashdown Forest, take a trip down memory lane on the Bluebell Steam Railway, or see the Arts and Crafts architecture of Standen House and Gardens. Further afield you'll find East Grinstead and Royal Tunbridge Wells – both well worth a visit. While buzzy Brighton is just 20 miles away. And if you're looking for a relaxing way to start your trip abroad, we're just 16 miles from Gatwick Airport
