About

Maresfield ward encompasses a mix of woodland, farmland, and residential settlements within the High Weald. The area includes the village of Maresfield itself, along with Nutley and parts of Ashdown Forest. Land use is primarily rural, with a network of small roads connecting scattered properties and farms.

The landscape is characterised by its underlying sandstone geology, which supports extensive pine plantations and heathland. A notable local feature is the presence of several historic hammer ponds, remnants of the Wealden iron industry that once operated here. The ward maintains a quiet, semi-rural character distinct from the larger towns in the district.
