King's Standing is the highest point in (or on) the Ashdown Forest. It takes its name from a lookout tower, which once stood at the location of King's Standing Clump (east of the road), from where royalty would hunt deer. The area is now home to a police training centre, under which is a old government bunker that was built towards the end of the Cold War. There were a lot of radio masts at this spot during the 80s but only one remains now.
