Tatsfield and The World
Visitors to Tatsfield often notice the low temperatures in winter, as well as the frequent low cloud that can surround the area after nightfall. This is due to the village's altitude and position on the escarpment. In fact, it can claim that there is nowhere higher between here and part of the Ural Mountains (but only if you choose the route very carefully to avoid, in particular, the Valdai Hills between Moscow and St Petersburg and the hills of Småland in Sweden).
Outside of England, Tatsfield is not a well known place - except to the people of Vern-d'Anjou in France. The two villages have been twinned with one another since the 1970s, and operate a bi-annual exchange to promote ties between their respective countries.
