Plumpton Green, Lewes, BN7 3FF

Plumpton Green lies 5 mi north‑west of Lewes in East Sussex, within the South Downs National Park.

The village itself sits adjacent to the Downs, and to the north the larger settlement of Plumpton Green hosts most of the community and services. Plumpton is noted for its racecourse, a key local landmark, and for Plumpton College, which farms over 2,500 acres (1,000 ha) and is a leading centre for land‑based education in the UK. The setting offers a blend of rural character, historic sporting activity, and educational facilities, all within a short distance of Lewes and the broader South Downs landscape.
