About

Newhaven Town sits along the River Ouse where it meets the English Channel. The area is defined by its working port, one of the largest in Sussex, with ferry services to France. Industrial estates and functional maritime infrastructure characterise much of the landscape, alongside residential streets of Victorian and interwar housing.

The town's history is marked by its role as a cross-channel gateway. The West Beach and the adjacent Fort Road lead to the remains of a 19th-century coastal defence battery. The main commercial activity is concentrated along the high street, serving the local community.
