Hartfield,
only a small village, but nicely formed.
At the
heart of Pooh Country, Hartfield Village High Street offers
the visitor extensive refreshment facilities:
The "Honey
Pot" tea-room, the "Hay Wagon" and the "Anchor" inns - each
with restaurant and car parking. And close to "Pooh Corner"
(home of the world's largest collection of "Pooh-phernalia")
is "Woods Stores" (closed Sunday afternoons) where you can
buy takeaway snacks, ices and drinks.
These
places, together with the nearby "Dorset Arms" in Withyham,
the "Gallipot" on the road to Forest Row, and the "Hatch"
at Colemans Hatch, give you a choice of where to go before
and after your visit into Pooh Country.
A good base for days
out in the country.
