The civil parish of Pevensey lies on the low-lying Sussex coast in the district of Wealden, East Sussex, England. It embraces the village itself, the shoreline at Pevensey Bay and the surrounding Pevensey Levels - a broad area of reclaimed marsh and grazing meadow valued for its birdlife and wetland habitats.
Pevensey is perhaps best known for the dramatic remains of Pevensey Castle, a Roman-era fort later reused by the Normans and associated with William the Conqueror’s landing in 1066, which helps sustain a modest tourism trade alongside local farming. The parish retains a strong sense of history and community while managing coastal issues such as erosion and flood risk, and it sits within easy reach of nearby towns such as Hastings.
