Iden is a small rural village and civil parish in the district of Rother, East Sussex, England, sitting a few miles inland from the coast and just west of the historic town of Rye. The parish occupies low-lying countryside on the edge of the Romney Marsh and the valley of the River Rother, so its landscape is a mix of farmland, hedgerows and small woodlands shaped by river and sea‑defence history.
Locally the community is quiet and largely agricultural in character, with some converted barns and rural cottages alongside a handful of historic buildings that hint at medieval origins. Visitors tend to be drawn by walking routes, birdlife on the marshes and easy access to the heritage attractions of nearby towns rather than by high‑street amenities, which remain deliberately limited.
