Brightling is a small village and civil parish in the district of Rother, East Sussex, England, lying within the rolling sandstone ridges of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The settlement sits on undulating downland with long views across the Weald; lanes, hedgerows and patches of ancient woodland give the area a distinctly rural character, with the market towns of Battle and Robertsbridge the nearest centres for shops and services.
The village has a traditional feel - timber‑framed cottages, a village hall and a church form the social core - and the local economy remains rooted in agriculture, small rural businesses and a modest amount of heritage and walking tourism. Its quiet lanes, scenery and sense of continuity attract visitors looking for countryside walks and a slice of historic Sussex village life.
