Map of the UK

The ward centred on Hadlow Down and Rotherfield lies in the south-east of the Wealden district of East Sussex, England. It is largely rural, set within the rolling, wooded landscape of the High Weald AONB and close to patches of ancient heathland such as Ashdown Forest, with a mix of farmland, hedgerows and small woodlands.

Both villages retain historic character - timber-framed houses, parish churches and village greens - and a lively community life centred on local pubs, halls and annual fetes. The local economy is mainly agricultural and service‑based, with many residents commuting to larger towns; conservation, outdoor recreation and heritage projects play an important part in the area’s social and cultural identity.
