Crowborough sits on a ridge above the Weald, seven miles south-west of Royal Tunbridge Wells along the A26, with the High Street and the town centre junction known locally as The Cross forming the hub of the town. TW Kings Cars runs regular local and airport journeys into Crowborough from our Tunbridge Wells base, and it's one of the villages our drivers know well — the run down through Rusthall and Langton Green takes around 15 to 20 minutes depending on traffic.
Residents of Crowborough, TN6, book with TW Kings Cars for the same reason customers across the district do: fixed prices agreed before you travel, no surge pricing at peak times, and a fleet that covers everything from a saloon for the station run to a minibus for a family of eight heading to the airport. Every driver holds an enhanced DBS check, and every vehicle is council-licensed and inspected twice yearly, whether you're booking a short local hop or a long-distance airport transfer.
Crowborough Beacon marks the highest point of the town, at around 242 metres above sea level — the second highest spot in East Sussex after Ditchling Beacon — and gives the area its wide views across the Weald towards the South Downs. The Beacon is also home to Crowborough Beacon Golf Club, founded in 1895, and the surrounding roads around Beacon Road and Farningham Road are a regular part of our Crowborough coverage.
Whether you're heading to or from the golf club, a property near the Beacon itself, or one of the residential roads that climb the ridge, TW Kings Cars can get a car to you at short notice. Being on high ground, the Beacon area can catch worse weather than the town centre in winter, so our drivers factor in extra time for the climb when conditions turn.
Crowborough railway station sits on the Uckfield branch of the Oxted Line, with services running up towards London Bridge and Croydon. The station has been through a few names since it first opened in 1868 as Rotherfield — it became Crowborough & Jarvis Brook in 1897 before settling on its current name in 1980 — and it remains a short, direct run from the town centre.
We regularly pick up and drop off at Crowborough station for commuters connecting onward from London, as well as visitors arriving without a car. If you're heading on to Gatwick or one of the other London airports after a train journey, a pre-booked taxi from the station avoids the wait for a rank that isn't always staffed.
Ashdown Forest runs along the southern edge of Crowborough, and it's one of the reasons people choose to live in the town — 6,500 acres of heath and woodland, including King's Standing, one of the highest points in the forest, with views back towards the Beacon. It's also the landscape that inspired the Hundred Acre Wood in A. A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh stories, and walkers, cyclists and horse riders use the forest year-round.
TW Kings Cars covers journeys from anywhere in Crowborough out to the forest car parks at spots like Old Lodge or Camp Hill, and back again once you're done — useful if you'd rather not leave a car at a remote car park overnight, or if you're arriving by train and need a lift the final few miles.
