Laughton is a small rural village and civil parish in the district of Wealden, East Sussex, in southern England. Set on the fringes of the South Downs, it retains a patchwork of farmland, hedgerows and traditional flint-built houses, giving a distinctly countryside feel while sitting within reach of larger towns and the coast.
It has medieval roots, an old parish church and a scattering of listed buildings that hint at its long history; today the local economy is a mix of farming, small businesses and residents who commute to nearby urban centres such as Brighton. The village community centres on a village hall and pub, occasional local events and well-used footpaths that make it popular with walkers exploring the surrounding downs and lanes.
