About

Heathfield South ward is a predominantly rural area in the Wealden district. Its landscape is characterised by rolling fields, scattered farmsteads, and small woodland patches. The settlement pattern consists of the main town of Heathfield itself, along with several outlying villages and hamlets like Broad Oak and Punnetts Town. The local economy has historical ties to agriculture, though it now includes light industry and serves as a retail and service hub for the surrounding countryside.

The area is defined by the A265 and A267 roads, which form key transport corridors. Heathfield Park, a large private estate with a notable Gothic Revival mansion, lies within the ward's boundaries. Community life centres around local schools, shops, and the Heathfield showground, which hosts the annual agricultural show. The underlying geology of sandstone and clay influences both the traditional building materials and the pastoral nature of the land.
