Welcome to West Hoathly

West Hoathly is a small village located in the Mid Sussex district of West Sussex, England. The village is situated on the edge of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which makes it a popular destination for tourists who are looking to explore the beautiful countryside of Sussex. The village is home to a number of historic buildings, including the 13th-century St. Margaret's Church, which is known for its beautiful stained glass windows and impressive architecture.

One of the most popular attractions in West Hoathly is the Bluebell Railway, which is a heritage railway that runs between Sheffield Park and East Grinstead. The railway was originally built in the 1880s and was used to transport goods and passengers between London and the south coast of England. Today, the railway is a popular tourist attraction and offers visitors the chance to experience a bygone era of steam travel. The railway also hosts a number of special events throughout the year, including steam galas and Santa specials.

West Hoathly is also home to a number of traditional pubs and restaurants, which offer visitors the chance to sample some of the best local food and drink. The Crown Inn is a popular choice for visitors, with its traditional pub atmosphere and delicious menu of locally sourced food. The Cat Inn is another popular choice, with its cosy interior and impressive selection of real ales.
