South Heighton is a small village and civil parish in the district of Lewes, in East Sussex, England. It sits on the lower slopes of the South Downs National Park close to the mouth of the River Ouse and within easy reach of the port town of Newhaven on the Sussex coast, so the area offers a mix of downland views, farmland and coastal access with good walking routes nearby.
Once rooted in modest agricultural life and expanding through the 19th and 20th centuries, the parish today combines traditional cottages and more recent housing and has a lively village feel with community groups, a village hall and local events. Many residents commute to nearby Lewes or Brighton for work, while visitors and locals alike appreciate the quiet rural character, birdwatching and outdoor recreation close to the coast and downs.
