Crowlink

Small hamlet grouped around a manor house. Crowlink has two claims to fame, firstly Edith Nesbitt of Railway Children fame lived here for a while and secondly, during the heyday of the smugglers the manor's extensive cellars hid high quality Gin that came to be known as 'Genuine Crowlink'. During the 18th century it was possible to reach the beach at Crowlink Gap (Out of picture to the left) and became a landing place for smugglers. The track from Crowlink Gap led to Friston then across the Downs towards the Wealden villages of Mayfield, Goudhurst and Lamberhurst where the major gangs were located.
