Fairlight East Sussex Map

About Fairlight

Fairlight surveys the sweeping curve of the English Channel, a gentle promontory overlooking the restless sea. It lies 4.8 km east-north-east of Hastings (from Hastings: bearing 63°T, OS grid TQ 860 118), and is situated south of Friar's Hill village. The chalky soil here lends a particular brightness to the light, catching the sun on its rolling fields and illuminating the ancient trackways that crisscross the landscape. A sense of quiet endurance pervades Fairlight, a quality echoed in its sturdy cottages and the weathered stone of its parish church, St. Andrew’s, whose spire has long pointed towards the heavens. The air, often carrying the brine of the coast, can also bring the scent of gorse and heather from the nearby heathlands, a wilder perfume that speaks of untamed spaces.
