Selmeston is located some eight miles east of Lewes, the county town of East Sussex. The village is principally focused on The Street, which runs due north from the A27 but the Parish covers a total area of 2.6 square miles both north and south of the road. A small part of the Parish falls within the South Downs National Park. At the 2011 census there were 159 residents. There are no street lights or pavements and this gives the village some of its character, which is enhanced by verges and banks which are home to wild flowers and to daffodils that have been planted by residents.
