The ward around Plumpton, Streat, East Chiltington and St. John lies in the Lewes district of East Sussex, straddling the northern scarp and downland of the South Downs National Park. It includes the agricultural college Plumpton College and the popular Plumpton Racecourse, and is characterised by chalk grassland, rolling hills and long-distance walking routes that attract day visitors.
