About

East Saltdean and Telscombe Cliffs sit on the Lewes District coast, where a band of chalk and pebble meets the sea. Housing terraces and bungalow rows follow the slope down to the beach and the concrete promenade, with a short sequence of stepped accesses to the foreshore. A cliff-top footpath runs along the settlement, giving regular sea views and a line of sight to Telscombe Tye directly behind the cliff edge. Local facilities are concentrated in a small parade near the shore, and the area’s layout reflects its coastal position rather than inland development patterns.

Behind the cliffs, Telscombe Tye is registered common land that creates an open strip between the settlement and the higher downland. The Tye’s grassland and paths carry walkers across a wide, flat space used for informal recreation and grazing; from here the drop to the beach is immediate and visible. The parish boundary runs through this mix of coast and common, so residential streets, public access routes and the Tye sit closely together within the Lewes District.
