Why Alfriston?
Just an hour from Brighton, the Cuckmere Valley and its largest village, Alfriston, offers visitors the best of the British countryside. The valley forms part of the South Downs Way, and many walkers take advantage of the position to enjoy the marvellous views this path offers. Other walks offer less strenuous opportunities for enjoying the natural scenery. The historically-minded will be fascinated by Alfriston, a beautiful Medieval village boasting a fantastic church, St Andrews, "The Cathedral of the Downs", as well as the first building acquired by the National Trust, the Clergy House. Throughout the region, B&Bs, hotels, tea gardens, pubs and restaurants welcome guests with delicious fare. Unique and delightful shops help make the day memorable for all visitors.
The Alfriston and Cuckmere Valley Partnership (ACVP) represents businesses throughout the region. They aim to support good practice, improve business, and work with the local community to safeguard the area's excellent quality of life. They welcome all businesses who share their goals and want to work together.
