Blackness East Sussex Map

About Blackness

Blackness, a quiet hamlet in East Sussex, offers a perspective on the Weald's gentle rise and fall. It lies 3.2 km east of Polegate (from Polegate: bearing 92°T, OS grid TQ 613 048), and is situated north-north-west of Stone Cross village. The fields here, often a rich loam, seem to hold the very light of the South Downs, catching it in the morning mists that often wreathe the hedgerows. Though small, Blackness has a sense of permanence, a quiet rootedness that speaks of generations who have worked this land. The air, particularly after rain, carries the clean scent of damp earth and distant chalk. The particular curve of the land, where it meets the sky, offers a subtle beauty, a landscape that feels both familiar and ever-renewing.
