Pooh Corner, Hartfield, England...♔....

Pooh Corner is situated on the edge of the Ashdown Forest in Hartfield, East Sussex. As a boy Chistopher Robin Milne (1920 – 1996) lived a mile away from Hartfield village at Cotchford Farm. Once a week he and his childhood friend Jessica would walk to the village to buy sweets at this shop, then called Sackville Cottage. The name changed to Pooh Corner in 1978 when it became a gift and tea shop specialising in Winnie-the-Pooh goods.

The popularity of AA Milne’s books continues to attract visitors to the forest, but thankfully the setting remains an unspoiled escape for walking, camping and dropping sticks into the stream off that bridge
