About Ovingdean

Ovingdean perches on the chalk cliffs east of Brighton, a small village that feels remarkably remote despite being just five miles from the city centre. Most visitors arrive via the A259 from Brighton, turning up through Rottingdean - a scenic route that winds through the Downs with occasional sea glimpses. The village serves as a quiet stopover for those exploring the clifftop communities or heading to Brighton Marina, with approximately 350 EV charging points available in nearby Brighton. The tiny 12th-century church of St Wulfran is one of England's smallest parish churches, seating barely 30 people.
