Map of the UK

Seaford West sits on the western edge of the coastal town of Seaford in East Sussex, within the district of Lewes. The ward includes stretches of seafront and promenade beneath the chalk of Seaford Head, offering sweeping views across the English Channel and easy access to shingle beaches, coastal walks and a nature reserve noted for seabirds and chalk grassland.

The area is largely residential, with a mix of Victorian and more modern housing and a small local centre of shops and cafés that swell in summer as visitors arrive; the local economy combines tourism, small businesses and commuter traffic to Lewes and Brighton by rail. There are echoes of the town’s maritime past - a medieval port and nearby Napoleonic coastal defences - and a strong community spirit, with active clubs and seasonal events reflecting both long‑standing local families and newer commuters and retirees.
