Peacehaven is a small cliff‑top town in the district of Lewes, East Sussex, England, looking out over the English Channel roughly midway between Brighton and Newhaven. It sits at the edge of the South Downs and is known for its panoramic sea views, promenades and easy access to coastal and downland walks.
Developed as a planned garden‑suburb in the early 20th century, Peacehaven still shows an abundance of 1920s bungalows and a somewhat villagey feel; there’s a local community arts venue, the Peacehaven Centre, and a small seafront economy geared to residents and day visitors. Many people commute into nearby Brighton, while the town’s social mix includes long‑term retirees alongside younger families drawn by relative affordability and outdoor space.
