Welcome to East Dean

East Dean is a charming village located in the South Downs National Park in East Sussex. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and offers stunning views of the rolling hills and the English Channel. The village is known for its picturesque thatched cottages, historic church, and traditional pub. The village is a popular destination for walkers and hikers who come to explore the South Downs Way, which passes through the village.

One of the main attractions in East Dean is the St. Simon and St. Jude Church, which dates back to the 12th century. The church is a Grade II listed building and features a Norman font, a 14th-century chancel screen, and a 15th-century pulpit. The church is open to visitors and is a popular spot for weddings and other events. The churchyard is also worth a visit, as it offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside.
