Willingdon and Jevington is a civil parish in Wealden, East Sussex, England, centred on the historic villages of Jevington, Willingdon and Wannock. Sitting on the edge of the South Downs and close to Eastbourne, it combines chalk downland and farmland with more suburban pockets, so you get open countryside and good access to the seafront and town amenities.
Jevington is notable for its medieval church and ancient yew trees, and the parish overall has deep agricultural roots alongside a growing commuter population. Village life is anchored by pubs, local events and conservation efforts for chalk grassland and wildlife, while historic buildings and walking routes onto the Downs give the area a distinctly rural character with easy links to nearby towns.
