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. The Church is located on the northern edge of the Village, but it is in easy walking distance of the centre of the Village. 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.

For more information about our village see the Balcombe parish website here
