Helpful Traveling Tips to Ashdown House  (Directions can also be found at Multimap)

When There is No Traffic (i.e. in the middle of the night!)...
...the A22/23 out of London, through Purley and then the A22 to East Grinstead/Forest Row is perfectly satisfactory.

Most of the Time....

...it is best to go for the M25.  People reach this by various routes depending on what part of London they are coming from.  Putney Bridge/A3 and off on the Leatherhead road and then on to the M25 via Chessington Zoo is the most popular route but it is possible to go through Wimbledon and head for Reigate and join the M25 that way.

Once on the M25....

... take the M23 turnoff.  Proceed along the M23 and come off it when you reach the East Grinstead turnoff (the one after Gatwick).  Follow signs to East Grinstead, turning right at the Felbridge traffic lights and keeping on the A22 towards Forest Row (and Eastbourne)...

If you would be passing through East Grinstead at any time between 8 a.m. and 9.30 a.m. or 4.30 p.m. and 6 p.m. or on a Saturday morning, avoid it by taking the right turn at the second roundabout after you have come off the M23.  This road is signposted to Haywards Heath and Turners Hill.  Go straight through Turners Hill and exactly a mile from the crossroads in Turners Hill you will see a left hand fork to Sharpthorne and West Hoathly.  Go through Sharpthorne and at the Plaw Hatch X road (you are on the main road) turn right to Wych Cross.  At the traffic lights go straight ahead.  Follow this road for about 2/3 miles taking the first opportunity to turn left.  This takes you to Coleman’s Hatch church where you turn left and our drive is exactly one mile along from there on the right on a very sharp left hand bend.

If You are Coming Through East Grinstead....

...at any other time, come straight along the A22, into Forest Row and then take the left turn at second roundabout in the middle of the village..........

.........from here travel about a mile and a half and you will see our school drive on the left hand side just before a big right hand bend.  (Grey painted screening for a building development for Silver Homes is about 20 metres before the drive on the left.)

From Tunbridge Wells direction....

...take the B2110 through Groombridge, Hartfield and Colemans Hatch towards Forest Row and East Grinstead.  Colemans Hatch church is on a sharp right hand bend and the school drive is exactly one mile from the church on the right hand side of the road immediately after a very sharp left hand bend (signal before you go round the bend!).  

From Uckfield and the coast.....

...come up the A22 to Forest Row.  As you come down the hill into the village with the church on your left, turn right at the small roundabout.

From here travel about a mile and a half and you will see our school drive on the left hand side just before a big right hand bend.   (Grey painted screening for a building development for Silver Homes is about 20 metres before the drive on the left.)

Once you have turned into the drive....

There is rather a small discreet white noticeboard which says Ashdown House, Heasmans and Cobbers on it.  Once on the school drive there are two opportunities of going left.  Don't take either of them and you will finish up at the front of the school!
