This place is an absolute must for Winnie the Pooh fans. It positively drips with history, dating from the 1690s. It has a resonance with the books, being located in the same village where A.A. Milne wrote the stories. Living a mile away, Christopher Milne used to come to the shop to buy candy Today, it houses the world’s largest selection of Winnie the Pooh products, ranging from souvenirs, books and boxed sets, tapes & CDs, videos & DVDs, greeting cards, postcards, posters and prints, gift wrap, stationery, stickers, games, soft toys, cross stitch, mugs, Border Fine Arts, Disney ornaments, Royal Doulton and Spode china collectables, Royal Selangor pewter and more! Winnie the Pooh’s rights may now belong to Disney, who have added the red waistcoat but for me, a visit to this sleepy village of Hartfield and Ashdown Forest, where the stories were set, brings to mind those classic E.H. Shepherd drawings of that bear of small brain and his friends Of course, for the true Pooh fan, the essential purchase at this shop is the Pooh map of Ashdown Forest so you can walk round to find those special places in the books — the North Pole, 100 Acre Wood etc A must for any Winnie the Pooh fan!

Although there is a fair selection of Pooh memorabilia the café is unwelcoming, the food unimaginative & pricey. A touristy rip off. Went once & would never go again. Their are plenty of good pubs around and good cafes in Forest Row(B2110) & PerryHill Orchard are opening one in their Farm Shop(B2026). The whole area is fantastic for walking and the Pooh Bridge(Free) is in a delightful setting but the bridge its self is not quite the same since they rebuilt it. Other local attractions — Ashdown Forest Visitor Centre, Excellent toy shop in Forest Row with proper toys not plastic !, Ashdown Forest Llama Park, Standen NT, Groombridge Place.

The place to go if you are interested in Winnie The Pooh! This shop has anything and everything you could possibly want with Pooh on. It seels books, cuttlery, sweets, clothing and much much more. It is a good place to go to first if you intend visiting/finding Pooh’s Bridge which is just down the road. You can buy a leaflet giving details of where to park and how to get to the bridge. And they also sell the Official Pooh Sticks Rule Book! There is also a coffee shop which is very handy as it’s about the only place in the village to get a drink or cake other than the two pubs. There is also a toilet tucked away at the back, and if you have children in your party and are heading off to Pooh Bridge, then I would suggest making full use of this facility as there is nothing at all at the Bridge.
