Peacehaven East occupies the eastern part of the seaside town on the cliff-top between the English Channel and the rise of the South Downs, within the district of Lewes in East Sussex, England. It enjoys panoramic sea views and direct access to coastal walking routes, sitting close to the harbour town of Newhaven and within easy commuting distance of Brighton.
The area reflects Peacehaven’s early 20th‑century planned development with a mix of low‑rise housing, local shops and community facilities; its economy leans on local services and commuters to nearby urban centres. Notable local themes are the chalk cliffs and associated coastal erosion and sea‑defence work, a strong community spirit with volunteer groups and events, and lingering wartime coastal defences that hint at the area’s twentieth‑century history.
