Cuckfield is a handsome historic village and civil parish in the district of Mid Sussex, West Sussex, England, set on a gentle ridge of downland with views towards the South Downs. The centre retains a long, well-preserved High Street of Georgian and earlier buildings and a medieval parish church, and the village sits conveniently close to towns such as Haywards Heath and Burgess Hill, making it feel rural yet well connected.
Locally there is a strong community life centred on independent shops, pubs, clubs and regular cultural and village events, and the area benefits from conservation protections that preserve its character. Many residents commute to larger employment centres, while the local economy supports small businesses, schools and leisure activities, giving Cuckfield the balance of a historic market-place feel with modern commuter links.
