Willingdon is a charming village just outside Eastbourne, nestled between the South Downs and the coast. It has a relaxed, leafy feel and a strong sense of community, with all the character you'd expect from a traditional East Sussex village. Whether you're strolling down Church Street or enjoying the open views across the downs, it's a place that feels both peaceful and well-connected.

The village goes back a long way. Willingdon is mentioned in the Domesday Book, and its roots stretch deep into Sussex history. It famously inspired George Orwell's fictional setting in Animal Farm, said to be based on the village and its surroundings. Over the years, it's grown gently, retaining much of its original layout and rural charm, while gradually blending with nearby areas like Lower Willingdon and Wannock.

You'll find plenty of essentials in the village itself—local shops, a couple of cosy pubs, schools, churches, and scenic spots to walk the dog or just clear your head. The Red Lion and The Wheatsheaf are both firm favourites, serving food and keeping the community spirit alive. There are post offices, doctors' surgeries, and little clusters of shops, plus easy access to the South Downs for anyone who loves a countryside ramble. The views from Butts Brow are something else—worth the climb.

Not far from Willingdon, you've got a whole range of places to explore. Eastbourne's seafront, pier, and theatres are just a short drive away. A little further afield, you'll hit the likes of Alfriston, Lewes, and the famous cliffs of Beachy Head. The South Downs National Park offers mile after mile of walking and cycling trails, while cultural gems like Charleston Farmhouse and Glyndebourne Opera House add a touch of flair to the local landscape.

Transport's straightforward. The A22 runs right past the village, making road access to Eastbourne, Hailsham and further up to London easy enough. For trains, the nearest station is Hampden Park, with regular services into Eastbourne, Brighton, and up to London. If you're catching a flight, Gatwick is the nearest major airport and can be reached in about an hour by road or rail.

East Sussex is the kind of place that doesn't show off, but always delivers. It's got chalk cliffs, winding lanes, market towns, and miles of green space. You'll find seaside classics like Brighton, rural gems like Rye, and everything in between. The county's history is layered, its countryside is stunning, and there's a gentle pace to life here that suits all sorts.
