About

The Herstmonceux & Pevensey Levels ward encompasses a distinct lowland landscape dominated by the ancient Pevensey Levels, a vast area of reclaimed marshland crisscrossed by drainage channels known as grips. This flat, open environment is primarily agricultural, with fields used for grazing and crops. The village of Herstmonceux lies to the north, known for its historic castle, while the settlement patterns across the ward are generally dispersed, characterised by scattered farms and hamlets.

A network of quiet rural lanes and public footpaths traverses the area, providing access across the levels. The shingle coastline at Pevensey Bay forms the ward's southern boundary. The Royal Greenwich Observatory was formerly housed at Herstmonceux Castle, its distinctive domes remaining a local landmark. Land use is a defining mix of productive farmland, ecological wetland habitats, and residential communities adapted to this low-lying terrain.
