Isfield is a charming village perfectly positioned on the outskirts of the South Downs National Park around 4 miles south of Uckfield. The name Archers Field is driven by the active history of the village, which originally grew adjacent to the Ford where the London to Lewes Roman Road crossed the River Ouse.

During the Saxon & Norman eras, a Norman castle motte was built on the river bank near the church to guard the crossing. It is rumoured that King Harold spent the night before the Battle of Hastings in the village. A popular feature of the village is the award winning pub, The Laughing Fish which serves a fabulous selection of local ales and home cooked food. The pub is reputed to have started life as a chapel when it was built in the 1860s. As you enter the village you can’t miss the fully restored Victorian train station - The Lavender Line. As well as operating trips, there is a pretty Tea room, gift shop and childrens play area and picnic spot. Situated just outside the South Downs National Park, Isfield is hugely popular with walkers as there is are an excellent variety of local walks across The South Downs, Ashdown Forest and the High Weald.
