Location

Alciston is a quaint village located in the heart of East Sussex in the Cuckmere Valley and sits beneath Firle Beacon. It is a very pretty village with thatched cottages and a large proportion of old buildings along its narrow main street. The medieval tithe barn is simply huge - it's over 50 metres long and an indicator of just how rich the church was in the middle ages - the barn would have been full of the church's cut (or tithe) of the annual harvest each year.

The South Downs Way passes approximately 1 mile from the village and direct access onto Firle Beacon 217m which offers wonderful views over open countryside.

A Mainline Railway Station at nearby Berwick offers services to London Victoria, Lewes and Eastbourne with larger towns such as Lewes, Eastbourne and Seaford all easily accessible by road.

The area benefits from by a number of popular schools catering for all ages, including nearby Bedes.
