The Bluebell Railway is an 11-mile (17.7 km) standard-gauge heritage railway spanning the border of East Sussex and West Sussex, England. Running between Sheffield Park and East Grinstead, the line is notable as the world's first preserved standard gauge, steam-operated passenger railway to launch a regular public timetable service. Operated primarily by volunteers under the Bluebell Railway Preservation Society, the line serves as a living museum dedicated to recreating British branch line operations from the Victorian era through to the late 1960s.

A short drive from Uckfield - head towards Hawards Heath and follow the signs. There is a bus, number 246, but it is so infrequent that it's not worth the bother. The park features
A small cinema in the High Street. It has three screens and is cheaper and less soul-destroying than the big multiplexes.
A thatched cottage built around 1436. It is used for educational trips and as an events venue.
A 1-mile long preservation railway a short distance from Uckfield in Isfield. It runs various specials throughout the year, such as Santa specials during the winter. The railway follows the A26 road and is on bus route 29 not 29A. Isfield is a small and attractive village.
A short drive away is this county-wide famous museum featuring a whole host of classic cars, wildfowl, craft shops, an area of forest and laid out gardens, and a small narrow gauge railway (weekends in summer).
