048 SPOTLIGHT ON CROWBOROUGH
town is the landmark statue of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the author of the Sherlock Holmes novels and short stories, who lived in Crowborough for the last 23 years of his life at Windlesham Manor. His connections are commemorated throughout Crowborough with road names and a cafe named in relation to him. Another famous literary figure was
also inspired by the surroundings of the town – AA Milne, author of the Winnie The Pooh books.
A short drive out to the village of Hartfield will take you to ‘Pooh country’ which inspired the setting of the stories and where you can go to Poohsticks Bridge and play the game yourself! • Visit
