Uckfield New Town is a ward in the district of Wealden, set within East Sussex in southern England. It covers part of the town’s more recent residential and commercial growth, lying close to the valley of the River Uck and bordering the rolling countryside of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so residents have quick access to both a compact town centre and nearby rural walking and cycling routes.
The area combines everyday shops, schools and community facilities with a mixed housing stock from post‑war estates to newer developments; the town’s market‑town origins and expansion with the arrival of the railway still shape its character. Local life centres on community groups, independent retailers and commuters travelling to larger centres such as Lewes and Brighton, while the river setting brings occasional flood management considerations alongside efforts to improve green spaces and local amenities.
