VISITING THE VILLAGE

Balcombe Village is located close to the M23 motorway and is on the mainline rail service from London to Brighton benefiting from its own station. 

Although the Church is located on the northern edge of the Village, it is in easy walking distance of the centre. If you are visiting and want to enjoy some refreshments you will find a welcome at the Half Moon Public House (owned by the community) or the Balcombe Tea Rooms or just pop into the Village Stores. 

Balcombe is popular for walkers being on the edge of some beautiful countryside.
