Haywards Heath, West Sussex

Flower Delivery to Haywards Heath – The Modern and Booming Village in West Susssex

What used to be a small village outranked by neighbouring towns has now become an economic powerhouse. Haywards Heath has become one of West Sussex’s most important towns, providing jobs to many of its people.

The trade off? It became a modern town that has become less interesting than its neighbouring historic towns and villages. This is not to say that there is nothing for you to enjoy and explore in Haywards Heath. It still has an uplifting countryside filled with Haywards Heath flowers. There are also nearby attractions and plenty of things to do within the area.

The town’s transformation came about by accident. In 1825, there was a plan to build a railway line from London to Brighton passing through Cuckfield, but local landowners would not allow it. The proposed route was redrawn so it will pass through Haywards Heath. This led to the development of the small village, making it small no more. A historian even described it as "large and quite amorphous".

Interesting Attractions

Ouse Valley Viaduct

Also called Balcombe Viaduct, the Ouse Valley Viaduct is located south of Balcombe and north of Haywards Heath. It spans over the River Ouse on the London-Brighton Railway Line. It is flanked by expanse of green with the occasional flowers in Haywards Heath.

Conservation Area

Found around Muster Green, this conservation area gives a glimpse of what the town looked like before the London-Brighton Railway Line was built. If you want to make a historical journey in town, this is where you should be.

Dolphin Pub

This pub is ancient by most people’s standards, as it goes way back to the 16th century. So in the midst of the modernity of the town, some historical buildings remain. The Dolphin Pub has been around for 130 years.

Former St Francis Hospital

Opened in 1859 by the Victorians as a county lunatic asylum, the former St Francis Hospital remains a collection of old buildings that showcase a part of a town’s history. Unfortunately, it might not be long before they became modern as well, because they are now being developed for housing.

Scrase Valley Nature Reserve

Stretching between Haywards Heath and Lindfield, this attractive open space provides the perfect spot for a picnic or to while away a lazy afternoon.

Borde Hill Gardens

This is one of the top-class gardens that showcase the beauty of Haywards Heath flowers and other plants.
