Uckfield is a town in the district of Wealden, in East Sussex, England. It is located on the River Uck, which flows into the River Ouse. The town has a population of 14,000 people (2012 estimate).

Uckfield dates back to the late 13th century, when a bridge was built across the River Ult, and in time, a settlement developed at the bridging point. In the old days, Uckfield was a village that served as a stopover for travelers between Canterbury, Chichester and Lewes.

A chapel was built in Uckfield in 1291. Church Street, one of the oldest streets in town, developed from around here. It today has a large concentration of post-medieval buildings.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
