About

The Frant & Groombridge area sits within the High Weald, characterised by rolling hills, sandstone outcrops, and dense woodland. The settlement pattern is one of scattered hamlets and isolated farms connected by narrow, winding lanes. The landscape is deeply historic, shaped by the iron industry and ancient woodland management. The River Grom, a modest tributary, flows through the parish.

Groombridge is bisected by the county border, with its older core in Kent and more modern development in East Sussex. The area is defined by the preserved Groombridge Place Gardens and the steep, wooded ascent of the A267 towards Frant. The village of Frant itself clusters around its green and church, maintaining a distinct, separate character from its neighbour amidst the surrounding agricultural and forested land.
