Location:

Nestled in the rolling countryside of the South Downs National Park, Falmer is a charming and historic village just a short distance from Brighton and Lewes. Steeped in history, Falmer Pond lies at the heart of the village, a tranquil, naturally occurring body of water surrounded by picturesque green space and traditional flint cottages. It’s a peaceful spot for picnics, wildlife watching or simply soaking up the rural atmosphere.

Falmer’s story stretches back through centuries of English history. Behind the parish church of St Lawrence stands a remarkable 13th-century thatched barn - one of the largest medieval barns in Sussex - once used by monks from Lewes Priory.

Although rural in character, the village has excellent local amenities and connections. The traditional village pub and nearby facilities provide a welcoming social hub, while the campuses of the University of Sussex and University of Brighton sit close by, bringing a lively and diverse community feel.

For those who love the outdoors, Falmer offers direct access to some of Sussex’s most beautiful landscapes. Well-maintained footpaths and bridleways link the village to the wider National Park, with popular walks taking in Stanmer Park, scenic downland trails, ridge-top routes and connections to the South Downs Way. For more adventurous walkers, longer circular routes head out towards Lewes or Ditchling Beacon.

Transport links are excellent: Falmer railway station sits on the Brighton–Lewes line offering frequent services into Brighton in around nine minutes, or onwards towards Lewes. The village is also well-served by local bus routes and lies adjacent to the A27, providing straightforward access across Sussex.

Falmer delivers a rare blend of historic charm, natural beauty and convenient connectivity - perfect for anyone seeking peaceful village living with city-accessible amenities and outstanding outdoor opportunities.
