About

Kewhurst lies within the Rother district of East Sussex as a small, mainly rural locality. The area is made up of farmland, narrow lanes and scattered houses, with fields bounded by hedgerows and small copses. Public footpaths cross the land and link to nearby lanes, used by walkers and for local access. Agricultural use shapes the pattern of fields through the year, with arable plots and pasture appearing in rotation.

Local services are based in nearby villages and towns, so Kewhurst functions as a quiet residential and working countryside area rather than a service centre. Buildings include a mix of newer homes and farm buildings adapted from older structures. Wildlife uses the hedgerows and woodland edges, and the lanes are punctuated by gateways and farm entrances that mark property boundaries. Travel is by road, with single-track lanes connecting to the district’s minor road network and busier routes beyond.
