Your guide to East Grinstead, United Kingdom from Cheap Hotels Ltd.
See the longest continuous run of 14th century buildings made of timber in England when you walk along High Street in East Grinstead. This town is located in West Sussex, quite near the borders of East Sussex, Surrey and Kent. It is located on the Geenwich Meridian so that you can straddle the line and be in two time zones at once. You only have a short drive of about 30 miles from London to reach the town, where you will be right on the edge of Ashdown Forest. When you visit East Grinstead, you just have to visit Standen to see the finest display of Arts and Culture in the country. The gardens at this location are also exquisite with the informal layout of native and exotic plants. The views from the garden are also spectacular as you look down over the Ashdown Forest. Saint Hill Manor is worth a visit to see the sandstone building dating back to the late 18th century. Gaze in awe at the numerous paintings of monkeys featuring more than 20 different species. Fifty- nine acres of landscaped gardens surround the house and the location is open to the public all year long. There is also a gift shop where you can purchase souvenirs of your visit, as well as a cafe where you can have a light snack. There is a range of accommodation for your stay as well as restaurants and pubs in the town. You will be treated like family and will surely want to make this an annual visit.
