Robertsbridge Enterprise Group (REG)

Robertsbridge Enterprise Group was set up in late 2005 with the single aim of promoting business and enterprise in the village and the surrounding area so that a more sustainable local economy could be created.

It has worked in concert with other like minded organisations, particularly the Parish Council and the District Council, through the local councillor, Sue Prochak.

Places to Visit

Places to Visit in and around Robertsbridge –Whether you are a local or a visitor to Robertsbridge there is so much for you to see.

In Robertsbridge itself, there is a wealth of attractive buildings, dating from the 13th century – still in use as houses or functioning business.

Take a look outside and inside, for example, at two of our public houses, the Seven Stars, a fantastic example of a Wealden Hall, of which there are many others in the High Street, or the George, a fine Georgian building, at the south end of the High Street.

There are interesting churches: St Mary’s, the Parish Church in Salehurst, the remains of a Cistercian Abbey in Redlands Lane which is now in private ownership, and the United Reformed Church, a fine late Victorian building which was featured in the film Cold Comfort Farm a few years ago, as were a number of local Robertsbridge people!
