Westfield, East Sussex

Westfield is where Hastings people end up when they decide the sea can be somebody else's problem. It's a village of post-war houses and bungalows along the A28, so the high street doubles as the road to Ashford whether it likes it or not. The verges are left wild on purpose, which is the most convincing case anyone has made for not mowing. The rarest plant in East Sussex grows in the wood up the road and keeps itself to itself, which fits right in.
