Alfriston is a village community surrounded by the Wealden South Downs. We sit near the eastern end of the South Downs Way where this national path splits three ways, going east, west and south, from the very centre of our historic village.

Around the village, visitors can enjoy the famous St Andrew's church (the "Cathedral of the South Downs"), the clergy house (the National Trust's first property) and our wide range of galleries, cafés, pubs and shops.

This is a beautiful old village and a must stop on the South Downs Way, which runs through it. There are many old buildings including pubs, art galleries, cafes and shops, and the National Trust's Alfriston Clergy House, which they got for £10!

The Old Coach Road runs out of Alfriston towards Firle, to the west and is a great alternative to the South Downs Way.
