Isfield is a small village on the A26 road south of Uckfield.
The village of Isfield originally grew adjacent to the ford where the Roman road crossed the river Ouse. At that time this was close to the furthest extent of tidal waters so the road might have brought Wealden iron to the river for export. The village had a very active history through the Saxon, Norman and Tudor eras. Local legend has it that King Harold spent the night before the Battle of Hastings at his demesne in the village, located where Isfield Place now stands. The Lavender Line Steam Railway is located here.
Other places in Isfield include a field often camped in, and the Laughing Fish, a small public house with a garden. These are both immediately adjacent to the Lavender Line.
The local cricket team, WG Gracefully plays in the East Sussex Cricket League.
