Wadhurst
Wadhurst was once crowned the best place to live in the country, and the estate agents have not let anyone forget it since. The railway station is the highest in southern England and sits so far out of town that the commute to London begins with a drive to the train. The ironmasters who built the grand Georgian houses on the High Street got rich on furnaces and smoke. The people who own those houses now would object to both in writing.
