Pevensey is situated in the district of Wealden midway between the coastal towns of Eastbourne and Bexhill. It comprises the ancient village of Pevensey, the larger seaside resort of Pevensey Bay and some 7 miles of farmland on Pevensey Levels, a wetland of international significance.

Pevensey Village

Pevensey Village is a small historic settlement with many ancient buildings dominated by the East Gate of Pevensey Castle. The Norman castle is run by English Heritage and is open to the public. Other buildings of interest in this historic village are The Courthouse (one of the smallest Gaols in England which you can still visit) and the early English church of St. Nicolas.

Pevensey Bay

Pevensey Bay is a coastal village and holiday resort with a variety of village shops. For visitors to the area there is an information centre and car park.

Pevensey Levels

Pevensey Levels is an internationally designated wetland site as well as being a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and is adjacent to Pevensey and Pevensey Bay. It is especially known for its diverse collection of birds and wildlife.

Nearby attractions include Herstmonceux Castle and Science Centre and the 13 mile-long Cuckoo Trail, which runs from Polegate through some of the prettiest countryside in Wealden and finishes at Heathfield.
