Wealden District Council

Located in the South of England, the Wealden area lies within the Weald and includes two landscape areas – the High Weald and the Low Weald.

Wealden is the largest district in East Sussex covering 322.4 square miles (83,502 hectares) and is home to 160,600 people. Two thirds of the district is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There are 41 conservation areas, and it has the largest amount of ancient woodland of any district in the country.

One half of the district’s population is located in the five main towns of Crowborough, Hailsham, Heathfield, Polegate and Uckfield, with the remainder divided among 37 rural parishes.

Stretching 35 miles from north to south, Wealden includes the iconic Seven Sisters coastline, the South Downs National Park and the High Weald area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Attractive villages offer you a warm welcome where you will see flint, timber and thatched buildings which reflect the heritage of the local area.
