We are a larger parish in rural East Sussex, midway between Tunbridge Wells and Hastings. Robertsbridge, including the small hamlet of Salehurst, is located in the High Weald Landscape, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in South East England. We are home to around 3000 people with a busy social calendar for all ages and a direct rail link to London. All our Councillors are volunteers who work on your behalf to improve the village.
