Rotherfield is a rural village and civil parish in the district of Wealden, East Sussex, England, set on a ridge within the High Weald AONB. The village overlooks the valley of the River Rother and surrounding rolling Weald countryside, with ancient woodlands, hedgerows and panoramic views that reflect its largely agricultural landscape.

Historically a long‑established settlement with timber‑framed buildings and a medieval church at its heart, Rotherfield today combines farming and small rural businesses with a strong local community life - village hall, pubs, shops and a primary school - and many residents who commute to nearby centres such as Crowborough. Local events and volunteer groups help keep the social fabric active while the scenic setting attracts walkers and countryside visitors.
