About

Upper Willingdon ward is located on the northern fringe of Eastbourne, within the Wealden district. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of housing types from inter-war semis to more modern developments. Its position on the slopes of the South Downs provides elevated views over the town and the English Channel. Local shopping parades serve the community's daily needs, centred around the main roads that connect it to the larger urban area.

The ward includes a significant portion of the downland landscape, with open access to the grassy slopes of Willingdon Hill. This creates a clear rural-urban boundary where residential streets give way to grazing pastures and walking paths. The historic Church of St. Mary the Virgin, with its Norman origins and later additions, sits at a prominent high point within the parish. Regular bus services along King's Drive provide a direct transport link into Eastbourne town centre.
