Piddinghoe is a small rural village and civil parish in the district of Lewes, East Sussex, England, sited on the south bank of the River Ouse at the eastern edge of the South Downs. It feels quietly tucked away, with a mix of chalk downland, riverside meadows and farmland that attracts walkers, birdwatchers and those who enjoy waterside pastimes; the river widening nearby gives the area a slightly estuarine character compared with the upland downs above.
The settlement has medieval roots and retains a small parish church and a scatter of historic farmsteads, reflecting an economy long tied to agriculture and the downland landscape. Today the village is a peaceful residential community with local events and a strong sense of place, while many residents travel to neighbouring towns such as Newhaven or Brighton for work and services.
