Map of the UK

South Battle and Telham is a largely rural ward in the district of Rother in East Sussex, England, sitting just south of the historic town of Battle. The area mixes arable and pastoral farmland with patches of remnant downland and woodlands, and benefits from proximity to the tourist draw of Battle Abbey and the wider 1066 country, which brings a steady trickle of visitors and heritage interest.

Community life is centred on small villages and hamlets where parish churches, local pubs and village halls still play a part, while economically the ward combines traditional agriculture with local services and a number of residents who commute to nearby towns for work. The landscape and lanes are popular with walkers and riders, reflecting both the agricultural legacy and the quieter rural character of the area.
