Crowborough, in East Sussex, had a population of around 21,000 at the 2021 census — a hilltop town with a famous literary resident.
Arthur Conan Doyle's Crowborough Years
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes, lived at Windlesham Manor in Crowborough from 1907 until his death in 1930, longer than anywhere else in his life. The town also sits close to Crowborough Beacon, one of the highest points in East Sussex, which gives the hilltop town its name.
What that history doesn't leave behind
This town's history doesn't come with a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — not the kind of retail a town this size tends to support locally.
Why Crowborough shoppers order online anyway
For anything past a corner-shop bag, ordering online is more consistent — many Crowborough shoppers would otherwise have to travel to Tunbridge Wells or Eastbourne for a wider selection.
