About

Buxted ward encompasses a primarily rural landscape of the High Weald, characterised by rolling fields, scattered woodland, and a network of small streams. The settlement pattern is one of dispersed villages and hamlets, with the largest being the parish of Buxted itself. The area's economy has historical ties to the iron industry, with the local geology providing the necessary raw materials. The ward includes parts of the Ashdown Forest, a large area of heathland and woodland.

The landscape is defined by agriculture and quiet residential living, with many properties set within the countryside. Buxted Park, a significant historic estate with a listed mansion, is a central feature. The ward is traversed by the River Uck, which flows through the parish. Local infrastructure centres on village amenities, with a focus on community-led facilities and services serving the resident population.
