Ditchling and Westmeston sit on the eastern flank of the South Downs within the district of Lewes, East Sussex, England. The area is typified by chalk downland and rolling farmland, with the prominent ridge of Ditchling Beacon offering panoramic views; Westmeston is a dispersed rural community while Ditchling has a compact village core of flint cottages and lanes.
Ditchling is noted for its arts-and-crafts legacy, reflected in the Ditchling Museum of Art and Craft and a long tradition of makers and workshops, while the local economy combines agriculture, small enterprises and a commuter population working in Brighton and Lewes. Conservation, footpaths and village events - fetes, pubs and active community groups - give the ward a strong local identity despite development pressures.
