About

Willingdon sits in the Wealden district of East Sussex, north of Eastbourne, and is organised as Upper and Lower Willingdon within the Willingdon and Jevington civil parish. The two settlements form a short linear spread of houses, small shops and farm buildings along the local road, with fields and hedgerows extending to the north. Local facilities include a primary school, a village hall and a pair of long-established public houses, and regular bus services connect the area to nearby centres. The layout reflects a mix of 19th- and 20th-century development interleaved with working farmland.

The surrounding landscape is largely agricultural, with arable fields and pasture broken by small copses and lanes that lead up towards the chalk scarp of the South Downs. Community activity often centres on the recreation ground and parish council events that bring Upper and Lower Willingdon together. The civil parish name appears on local signage and paperwork, and maps show the two settlements separated by a short stretch of open land rather than a single continuous street.
