Peacehaven sits on the chalk cliffs of the south coast in the district of Lewes, East Sussex, England, where the edge of the South Downs meets the English Channel. The town’s straight streets and bungalow-style housing reflect its origins as a planned early‑20th-century development, and it’s prized for wide sea views, coastal promenades and easy access to downland walking.
Originally laid out as a garden‑suburb, Peacehaven has grown into a largely commuter and retirement community with close links to nearby Brighton and other Sussex towns. Its local economy centres on shops, services and small businesses, while community groups, events and the coastal setting give it a strong local identity and appeal for walkers and families alike.
