Peacehaven East

About

Peacehaven East ward occupies the easternmost portion of the town, characterised by its residential streets and proximity to the coastal landscape. The area is primarily made up of housing, with local shops and services clustered along its main routes. The urban grid extends towards the chalk cliffs of the English Channel, which define its southern boundary.

A notable feature is the presence of the Peacehaven Heights park, offering open green space and direct access to the South Downs Way National Trail along the cliff top. This provides a clear transition from the built environment to the rural downland. The ward functions largely as a self-contained residential community within the wider Lewes district.
