Northiam is a rural parish in the district of Rother, tucked into the rolling sandstone landscape of the High Weald in East Sussex, England. The village sits close to the meandering River Rother and is known for its mix of timber‑framed houses, a historic parish church and the celebrated gardens and house at Great Dixter, while a heritage spur of the Kent and East Sussex Railway brings a touch of steam‑rail nostalgia to the area.
Locally the economy remains largely agricultural with a steady flow of visitors drawn by the gardens, countryside and heritage railway, and community life revolves around village events, a primary school and small businesses. Northiam also benefits from easy access to nearby towns such as Rye and Robertsbridge for wider services, keeping it a peaceful but well connected place to live or visit.
