Pyecombe is a small rural parish in the district of Mid Sussex, in West Sussex, England, sitting at the foot of the scarp of the South Downs. The area is largely chalk downland and farmland within the South Downs National Park, with a tiny village cluster, an old flint church and a landscape that attracts walkers and birdwatchers.

Locally famous for the traditional shepherd’s crook known as the “Pyecombe hook”, the parish’s economy remains centred on agriculture and small rural enterprises, while many locals commute to nearby centres such as Brighton or even London. Its quiet lanes and proximity to downland attractions like Devil's Dyke make it a peaceful spot for outdoor recreation and conservation-minded community life.
