Beckley is a small village and civil parish in the district of Rother in East Sussex, England, set on the rolling farmland and wooded ridges of the High Weald AONB. It lies a short drive from the historic riverside town of Rye and the coastal sands at Camber Sands, while larger centres such as Hastings and Battle are within easy reach.
The village’s character is typically Sussex: flint and timber-framed cottages, working farms and a small, close-knit community, with much of the local economy still rooted in agriculture alongside commuters and small rural businesses. Local history mirrors the wider Weald story - medieval ironworking, hop‑growing and long farming traditions - and Beckley retains a quietly historic, rural feel rather than being a busy service hub.
