Blackness East Sussex Map

About Blackness

Blackness rests upon the rolling contours of East Sussex, a quiet pocket of the Wealden district. It lies 1.3 km south-south-east of Crowborough (from Crowborough: bearing 148°T, OS grid TQ 522 301). The very air in Blackness seems to hold a particular stillness, a gentle quality of light that softens the edges of the surrounding countryside. Fields of arable land, often a rich, ploughed brown in autumn, stretch out towards the horizon, punctuated by copses of oak and beech that offer a deeper, more ancient shade. While not a place of grand pronouncements, Blackness carries the subtle hum of a life lived close to the earth, a character shaped by the seasons and the quiet industry of its inhabitants. The distant silhouette of the Ashdown Forest, a wilder expanse, often lends a sense of spaciousness to the perception of Blackness, even from its more settled heart.
