Firle East Sussex Map

About Firle

Firle rests against the South Downs, a chalk ridge that has shaped its character for centuries. It lies 6.2 km east-south-east of Lewes (from Lewes: bearing 119°T, OS grid TQ 470 072), and is situated south-east of Glynde village. The village itself unfolds with a quiet grace, its flint-and-brick cottages catching the low sun, a sight that has been familiar to generations. A scattering of ancient trees stands sentinel on the village green, their leaves whispering secrets of seasons past, a testament to the enduring spirit of this East Sussex hamlet. The air here often carries the faint scent of damp earth and distant agricultural work, a scent as old as the fields themselves. Firle’s proximity to the coast, though not directly on it, imbues the landscape with a certain salty tang on windier days, a reminder of the wider world beyond its tranquil bounds.
