East Grinstead
General information
Discover all the local schools and how they measure up.
Truly, East Grinstead has something for everyone. Friendly restaurants, pubs, bars and coffee shops are waiting to bid you welcome. Cosy accommodation in one of our hotels or bed and breakfasts is available through the year. The town also has self-catering facilities and nearby campsites.
In keeping with East Grinstead's location as a hub for four counties, for this is the only place where East and West Sussex meet Surrey and Kent, the Greenwich Meridian also runs through the town. The prime meridian that separates East from West is celebrated at East Court, the 1768 mansion set in its own parkland within the town.
Kingscote station just outside the town is the present northern terminus of the Bluebell Railway. From here you can journey through the unspoilt heart of the Sussex countryside to Sheffield Park, the headquarters of the Railway. Here you can see the biggest and most historic collection of locomotives and rolling stock outside of the National Railway Museum.
