The "castle" was built as a hunting lodge around 1450 
						and is said to be the oldest brick building in Sussex.  
						Henry VIII supposedly stayed here while hunting in 
						Ashdown Forest and pursuing Anne Boleyn at nearby Hever 
						Castle.  The house is no longer open to the public.

### Orchard Tea Rooms

Open daily 9:30 to 4:30.  For more details see their
						
						web site.

### Public Transport

There are buses from Tunbridge Wells and East 
						Grinstead – hourly on weekdays but rather less 
						frequently on Sundays.
