The ward of East Saltdean and Telscombe Cliffs sits on the chalk coastline within Lewes district of East Sussex, England, taking in the seafront suburb of Saltdean and the small cliff‑top settlement of Telscombe. It’s notable for dramatic white cliffs and the 1930s art‑deco Saltdean Lido, and for the coastal path and undercliff walks that link it eastwards towards Peacehaven and westwards towards Brighton.
Primarily a residential area with pockets of local shops, golf and leisure facilities, the ward combines commuter links into Brighton with a quieter, community feel popular with families and retirees. Open spaces such as Telscombe Tye, traces of wartime coastal defences and ongoing concerns about erosion and access give it a mix of local activism, small‑scale tourism and village‑style social life.
