Poundgate is a hamlet in East Sussex on the A26 Uckfield Road at the junction with Chillies Road, just south of Crowborough.[1] It has one pub, the Crow and Gate, on the main road and a scattering of mainly detached houses.
The name was first recorded in 1564, and is derived from a gate into Ashdown Forest, which Poundgate lies at the south-eastern edge of.[2][3] The hamlet is in the civil parish of Buxted, for which its population was accounted for in the 2011 census.[4]
Bus services connect to Crowborough and Brighton.[5] The nearest station is Crowborough with an hourly train service to London Bridge and to Uckfield. The Vanguard Way path goes through the hamlet.[6]
