Westmeston is a small, sparsely populated rural parish in the district of Lewes in East Sussex, England. It sits on the northern slopes of the South Downs, much of it lying within the South Downs National Park, and is characterised by rolling chalk downland, ancient woods and a network of sunken lanes and footpaths that make it popular with walkers and riders.
Historically centred on mixed farming, the local economy remains largely agricultural with scattered farms and traditional flint-built cottages, though many residents commute to nearby towns such as Lewes and Brighton. The community has a quietly historic feel, with a small parish church and several listed buildings, and retains active local conservation and village groups alongside occasional community events.
