The Crown Inn, Groombridge

Highlight • Restaurant

The Crown Inn is a traditional village pub with a history that stretches back to 1585. During the 18th century, the pub was the headquarters for the Groombridge Gang, ruthless smugglers who terrorised this neck of the woods. These days, however, you can expect a warm welcome and a good choice of food and drink. There are rooms available, too. For more information, visit: thecrowngroombridge.com.

St John the Evangelist Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The church, in Perpendicular Gothic style, was built in 1625 as a private chapel by John Packer, Clerk of the Privy Seal to Charles I. When it ceased to be used for private worship in 1872, it was officially consecrated and dedicated to St John the Evangelist. It contains a wealth of stained glass, including a window dating from 1625. Others are the work of 19th Century Sussex artist, Charles Eamer Kempe as well as examples by John Clayton and Alfred Bell. Other notable features include one of the few remaining one handed clocks in England and interesting brasses.

Brunch Café

Highlight • Cafe

Fantastic little cafe in Langston Green. Serves everything from a light sandwich to a whopping full English (if you’re feeling brave). I saw another table order American style pancakes with bacon – they looked incredible.
Staff were very friendly too; happy to fill our water bottles and keep an eye on our bikes as we popped into the newsagent next door (also pretty handy).

All Saints Church, Langton Green

Highlight • Historical Site

Designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, this church underwent a repair in 1863 to a version of the Early English Style, which was considered the only truly Christian style during the time of the Gothic Revival.

Lovely place for a little walk around country side. Start from the church and follow the path. Turn right on the cross path and you will end up in a nice little field .
Carry on out of the field and turn left . That will get you towards schol and than village hall with a cricket/football pitch. From than on you can carry on walking on the pavement towards a lovely pub called The Hare
