The Cuckmere Valley area in the district of Wealden, East Sussex, England sits where the chalk of the South Downs meets the coast. It is defined by the sinuous meanders of the River Cuckmere and the broad, shingle-backed estuary at Cuckmere Haven, with sweeping views towards the iconic white cliffs of the Seven Sisters; the mix of downland, floodplain and farmland makes it a magnet for walkers, birdwatchers and landscape photographers.
Local life is rooted in small villages and agriculture, while tourism and conservation are important to the local economy - much of the coastline and valley is managed for public access and nature protection by volunteers and national bodies. The area has a long tradition of coastal and rural use and a strong community focus on balancing visitor pressure with protecting the valley’s natural and historic character, with nearby towns such as Seaford and Eastbourne providing the closest services.
