Welcome to Seacox Heath

Seacox Heath is a beautiful area located in East Sussex, England. It is a popular destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts due to its stunning landscapes and diverse wildlife. The heath is home to a variety of rare and endangered species, including the Dartford warbler, nightjar, and adder. Visitors can explore the heath on foot or by bike, taking in the breathtaking views and enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

One of the most notable features of Seacox Heath is its heather-covered hills, which turn a vibrant shade of purple in late summer. The heath is also home to several ponds and streams, providing a habitat for a range of aquatic plants and animals. Visitors can spot dragonflies, damselflies, and other insects flitting over the water, while birds such as kingfishers and herons can often be seen fishing in the shallows.

In addition to its natural beauty, Seacox Heath has a rich cultural history. The area was once used for grazing sheep and cattle, and there are still remnants of old farm buildings and walls scattered throughout the heath. Visitors can also explore the nearby village of Crowhurst, which has a fascinating history dating back to the 11th century. Overall, Seacox Heath is a must-visit destination for anyone looking to experience the beauty and tranquility of the English countryside.
