Ripe is a small rural village and civil parish in the district of Wealden, in East Sussex, England, situated a few miles east of Lewes. It is sparsely populated and retains the quiet character of the Sussex countryside rather than being a busy commuter suburb.
Set on the lower slopes of the South Downs and overlooking the Cuckmere valley, the village is noted for its flint and timber cottages and a medieval parish church, with a landscape shaped by mixed farming, orchards and hop country. Local life still revolves around the church and village hall, while many residents work in nearby towns, and the area attracts walkers and those seeking a fairly unspoilt rural setting.
