Alfriston is a picturesque village in the Wealden district of East Sussex, England, tucked into the chalk valleys of the South Downs at the head of the Cuckmere Valley. It sits beside the meandering River Cuckmere and is a frequent starting point for walks across the downs and down to Cuckmere Haven, offering classic Sussex countryside and striking views.
The village retains a well‑preserved medieval core of timber‑framed houses, a notable parish church and the old Clergy House, one of the earliest properties acquired by the National Trust, which gives Alfriston a strong sense of history. Today its economy leans on tourism and local agriculture, with independent shops, galleries, cafés and pubs serving day‑trippers, walkers and a sociable local community that hosts regular events and village activities.
