Lower Willingdon is a compact village in the parish of Willingdon, sitting just north of Eastbourne in the Wealden district of East Sussex, England. It lies at the foot of the chalk ridge of Willingdon Down and close to the South Downs National Park, giving it a mix of rolling downland and open views that contrast with the nearby seaside town.
Historically a rural settlement with medieval roots, the area today combines agriculture with a largely residential, commuter population who travel into Eastbourne and beyond; older flint cottages and a parish church reflect its past while village halls and local groups sustain a small but active community life. Conservation of the surrounding chalk grassland and the proximity to walking routes mean it appeals to people who value countryside access as much as village character.
