The Old Brickfield is a peaceful green space tucked between the sea and the railway line on Marine Parade at the western edge of Seaford. Centuries ago it was a tidal inlet. Now it's a rare and valuable habitat for wildlife. Families picnic, friends meet, dogs walk and wildlife thrives here beside the sea.

A hidden haven

Enjoy peaceful walks, discover the wildlife, come to our summer fair
