About

Stone Cross, Westham and Pevensey Bay form a connected band of settlements on the Sussex coast within the Wealden district. Pevensey Bay fronts a long shingle beach with a sea wall and the stone circuit of Pevensey Castle set just inland on earthwork banks that trace a Roman shore fort; the bay is also associated with William’s 1066 landing. The shoreline gives way quickly to low-lying marshes and grazing fields, with a string of small shops, pubs and community facilities clustered around village greens and junctions.

Inland, Westham and Stone Cross sit beside the Pevensey Levels, a designated wetland of drainage channels and shallow ditches known locally as reens that support wading birds and aquatic invertebrates. Pevensey & Westham railway station on the East Coastway line provides regular services toward Eastbourne and further along the coast, while lanes and footpaths link farmland, the marsh edge and the bay, offering practical access rather than formal tourist infrastructure.
