Geocache Description:

Crowborough Country Park is an 18 acre Local Nature Reserve in the Jarvis Brook area of Crowborough.

Please note that the car park is at the end of Osborne Road, OS maps show it further north west.


It is a perfect escape for a peaceful dog walk or a family picnic, with new picnic benches, a circular 1km way-marked trail and a pond-dipping platform.

The park started life as a clay quarry serving the brickworks that closed in 1980. Evidence of its industrial past can still be seen by the interesting topography on the site. The site of the brickworks was developed into an industrial estate and housing, and the quarry was left to natural regeneration. The quarry was largely unmanaged until 2008 when Crowborough Town Council acquired the site. It has been the council’s priority to open up the park for public access and to ensure appropriate conservation: Tracks and bridges were installed and an ecological survey was commissioned.
