Alfriston is a picturesque village and civil parish in the district of Wealden, East Sussex, sitting by the meandering Cuckmere River at the foot of the rolling chalk hills of the South Downs National Park. Its narrow main street of flint and brick cottages, a medieval church and the water meadows give a strong sense of countryside and history, while the surrounding downland provides popular walking routes and dramatic views into the Cuckmere Valley.
The village economy leans on tourism, local agriculture and a scattering of independent shops, galleries, pubs and tea rooms, and it has a lively community life with seasonal events and walking groups. Notable historic touches include the charming 14th–17th century buildings and the tiny Clergy House, one of the earliest properties in the care of the National Trust, which underscores Alfriston's long-standing appeal to visitors and heritage lovers.
