Hailsham: A market town with a lot to offer
Market towns in the UK can often offer retirees looking to move a
vast range of options. They can provide a relaxed way of living
which can be attributed to rural surroundings.
This, however, does not mean there is a lack of things to do in
market towns. Locations like these are now moving forward with the
times, while maintaining their sense of heritage.
Considering property for sale in Hailsham could allow you
to see the prefect example of such an area.
The Sussex town has not only maintained its local farmers' market
and its array of quintessential British pubs, it has also started
to incorporate popular high street shops and restaurants into the
town centre. The result means there is plenty to do in and around
the area.
Hailsham's history is based around a communal market. Such a
gathering creates a great place to socialise as well as a vibrant,
friendly atmosphere. Residents can also get a wide range of local
produce from the market, helping them to stay healthy with
naturally-sourced goods.
Taking place on the second Saturday of every month, the market
still provides a focal point for the whole town to gather
around.
Keeping active is very important to many retirees, It can be a way
to stay healthy and meet up with friends. Hailsham's Freedom
Leisure Centre could be the perfect place to take up a new class,
with great facilities including a gym and swimming pool.
For those who prefer to use the outdoors as their exercise area,
Hailsham has a number of fantastic parks and gardens. The Country
Park spans over 22 acres of land and contains woodlands, meadows
and lakes within its grounds. There is also The Dennis King
Memorial Orchard & Sensory Garden, an ideal place to take an
afternoon stroll.
Keen walkers will be happy to know that Hailsham contains an active
branch of the Ramblers society. They organise weekly walks that
take place in the local countryside. Numerous routes and footpaths
are located around the area, guides can be obtained from the local
council.
