The ward covering Chailey, Barcombe and Hamsey sits amid rolling chalk downland and river valley on the edge of Lewes in East Sussex, England. It includes important commons and wetland habitats such as Chailey Common and Barcombe Reservoir, prized by birdwatchers and nature groups, and contains historic village centres with medieval churches and old mill sites by the River Ouse.
