The best time to visit Forest Row for pleasant weather and outdoor activities is generally during the late spring, summer, and early autumn months, from May to September.
During these months, the weather is typically warmer and drier, making it ideal for exploring the Ashdown Forest and enjoying outdoor pursuits like hiking, cycling, or visiting local gardens. You'll find longer daylight hours, which means more time to sightsee and relax outdoors.
For those interested in local events and a lively option, July and August are particularly good months. Many local festivals, markets, and open-air events take place, offering a richer experience of the community. However, this is also peak season, so accommodation may be more in demand.
If you prefer a quieter visit with fewer crowds, late spring (May-June) or early autumn (September) offer a nice balance.
