The town has a very popular Olympos leisure centre, which includes pools and a health club. If you’re the outdoors type, the relatively hilly surroundings mean opportunities for walking and mountain biking.

Transport links are excellent: you may be in the country but you’re also well connected. Haywards Heath station is on the fast London-to-Brighton rail line, with easy access to the capital in 45 minutes, and excellent links to other parts of the UK. Many local people work in London while others commute to Brighton, Crawley, Croydon and Gatwick.
The A272 runs through the centre of Haywards Heath. Moving west, it joins the A23 that heads south to Brighton and north to London. The A23 north connects to the motorway network (M23) at Pease Pottage south of Crawley, and then to the M25. Going south, the A23 connects to the A27 at Brighton then, travelling west, this becomes the M27 at Portsmouth before linking with the M3 at Southampton.
Gatwick Airport is 16 miles north from Haywards Heath: a single stop, around 15 minutes, by fast train. You can normally reach Heathrow in an hour via the M25, and get to Luton Airport using Thameslink. In terms of ports, Newhaven is pretty close while other channel crossing points including the tunnel are within a couple of hours’ drive (via A23, M23, M25 and M20).
