Nestled in the picturesque county of West Sussex, Haywards Heath is often overlooked, but this incredible little town is one to be discovered. Supposedly named after a highwayman named Jack Hayward, the town's colourful past ranges from minor battles in the English civil war to significant growth after the arrival of the London & Brighton Railway in 1841.

In addition to its rich history, the town boasts excellent transport links with the A272 road and a well-connected railway station, making it an unbeatable base to explore the southern England. Whether you're a history enthusiast, a shopping lover attracted by the commercial developments of Bolnore Village, or a leisure seeker drawn by the Dolphin Leisure Centre and various sports clubs, Haywards Heath provides a plethora of options.

The town's education system also adds to its appeal, promising excellent opportunities for those planning a longer stay. Significantly, Haywards Heath is twinned with Bondues in France and Traunstein in Germany, reinforcing its reputation as a cosmopolitan delight. Lastly, it is also worth mentioning that Haywards Heath has been the home of notable residents, including singer/songwriter Natasha Bedingfield and actress Tamzin Merchant.

When to visit Haywards Heath

For the best possible experience, consider visiting Haywards Heath in the warm months of late July, August, or June. During this period, the town bathes in welcoming temperatures, averaging around 21.6°C during the day, providing the perfect conditions for exploring the city or unwinding.

It's worth noting that while these months are popular with tourists, they tend to push hotel and flight prices up slightly. To avoid peak prices and still enjoy pleasant weather, April and September could also be a great time to visit, with a lower likelihood of significant rain.

However, visiting in the autumn offers its own uniquely charming experience, though slightly chillier. The fall colours of Haywards Heath provide an artist's dream palette and make for picturesque strolling through town – just remember to pack a jacket!
