Take JUNCTION 5 of the M25, signposted SEVENOAKS and HASTINGS A21. This puts you onto the A21 which you follow south (following the signs for HASTINGS) for about 31 miles, minding the speed cameras on the way. Robertsbridge is approached by a twisty section of road heading downhill that comes to a roundabout. Take the THIRD exit of that roundabout onto Northbridge Street (signposted Robertsbridge). You'll Find us on the left-hand side of the road a few hundred yards from the roundabout, opposite the public car park and recreation ground.

We recommend getting directions from the AA's website - we've found them accurate in terms of both time and distance - you can find their Route Planner here.

There are services approximately every 30 minutes, from both Hastings and London. Robertsbridge Station is on the Hastings to London (Charing Cross) line and you get get details of the journey here. It's about a 10 minute walk from the station to the Forge, down Station Road and left along the High Street. If you get lost in the village, ask anyone, they all know where we are!

Buses are a bit of a mystery to us, as generally, they don't like you taking Woodburners on them... however, you can have a look at the East Sussex Bus map here. As this is a link to an external site that may change from time to time, let us know if you can't find the map and we'll sort it.

Everywhere is "within walking distance" if you have the time....!
