About

The Cuckmere and Pevensey Levels Catchment is in East Sussex and includes the rural landscape of the High and Low Weald to the North of the catchment and the South Downs to the South. Within the catchment is the fast growing town of Hailsham and the coastal towns of Seaford, Eastbourne, Bexhill and Hastings.
