And in Beech Hurst Gardens with its miniature railway, Jubilee, Victoria Park, Blunts Wood and the marshy Western Road Nature Ealk there is plenty of parkland and areas open to the public in and around Haywards Heath.
Haywards Heath is surrounded by very attractive countryside and is a good base for a walking holiday. Ashdown Forest and the High Weald are nearby and there is good walking around the nearby villages of Cuckfield, Lindfield, Staplefield and Slaugham. The Scrase Valley Nature Reserve is an attractive open space between Haywards Heath and Lindfield.
