Selmeston Conservation Map
In 2014, Wealden significantly increased the conservation area and now includes most of the village from the A27 to the level crossing, as well as properties adjoining the A27 that are actually in Alciston (including The Barley Mow). A map of the new conservation area is shown above.

The community of Selmeston is creating a Parish Plan that enables us to have one voice over the issues that affect our community and what is important to us that we want to protect from change. Results from the Parish questionnaires will be available soon.
Protecting our natural environment
Take a walk through Selmeston and the low weald
Selmeston is blessed with many ancient footpaths that meander their way across the low weald. Most notable are the Vanguard Way and Cuckmere Pilgrims Path where footpaths connect to the churches at Berwick, Arlington and Alciston. And, of course Selmeston is a stones throw from the South Downs National Park.
